This is definitely a false positive because this domain is listed on the featured sites of unstoppable domains

Although its similarity, it is the new web3 version of the real original domain myetherwallet.com Your fuzzy blocklist made a mistake

Speaking as a person; I'm not officially affiliated with MetaMask in any way.

Unstoppable Domains looks like they're trying to be their own DNS provider and sell domains on TLDs that aren't recognized by ICANN. While they could potentially be validated by blockchain records it looks like this is going to be a huge and awful reckoning if ICANN ever opens up the TLDs on which Unstoppable Domains is unofficially squatting. Because myetherwallet.crypto isn't actually a registered domain except through this one DNS provider (I could be wrong but I don't see anyone else providing .crypto registration or any other DNSes that can give an IP for a .crypto domain) I don't see much reason to treat this differently from a website that does not yet exist.

Please continue to use myetherwallet.com to browse that service.
