It does make sense to me to at least change the pattern to something like protocol://com/domain/subdomain/subdistinction/specificresource and standardize the way these interact with all the parts of the web.
- ams6110 8y agoI don't think it makes sense. Most languages read left to right. The thing I'm most concerned with is what specific site I'm on. If I'm on facebook.com, the most important thing to me is "facebook", not "com". So it seems natural to me for that to be on the left.
- rauhl 8y agoThe problem is that facebook.com.google-safe-pages.verizonmobile.evil-site.cn also displays the ‘facebook’ portion leftmost. Also, due to the way DNS works you really are trusting ICANN, then the com registrar, then facebook (CAs add an overlay, but then CAs like Let’s Encrypt ultimately trust … DNS). Making that explicit would probably be a good thing (and might even be a first step towards a rootless, decentralised future).
