I think if Google and Firefox join forces and create a Dns override in their browsers that resolves domains without querying the root servers it could be a real game changer.
I remember this used to be an option in very old versions of IE where some company it using some plugin. This can be an end to all such monopolistic tactics and domain squatting.
- bogomipz 10y agoYou mean that breaking DNS would be a game changer? Yes it would be a game changer in the most horrid and absolute sense.
- gruez 10y agoToo bad lots of other applications also use DNS so that solution will only work for websites.
