This is why it's important to use bookmarks and never trust an unexpected link sent to you via e.g. email and don't trust search results to be genuine. I once watched a family member search "Gmail" and click the first sponsored link. It sent them to "g.maìl.com" or something (I don't remember the exact link) with a phishing lookalike login page. Many people search every time or trust a normal looking link instead of using bookmarks which is a huge risk unfortunately in 2026 with sponsored links and domain manipulation
