What's the reasoning behind blocking, apparently, all but 5 TLDs? I could see sketchy ones like XYZ being blocked, but the default whitelist is a bit... Bare.

- t0astbread 6y agoWhy even block any TLD entirely and not just malware domains?
- scoopertrooper 6y agoNo idea, but my point (and I think the point of OP) was that people shouldn't treat some rando's side project with the same amount of scrutiny as they might a new release of Firefox.
- kube-system 6y agoI would guess the reason is that it’s a small project that few people use and nobody noticed the problem before this thread.
- int_19h 6y agoI think it's one of the features that were added to differentiate this particular MSHTML-with-address-bar from countless others.
- scoopertrooper 6y agoThis is obviously some person's side project to test a bunch of ideas. One of which was to add in TLD whitelisting, so they came up with a couple of TLDs to whitelist with the intention of expanding it once it went viral on hackernews and they were bought out for a billion dollars by Walmart's venture capital vehicle.
