I’m not sure this would work. If you’re an American named Peter, should your British friends call you “Pete-uhh” or “Pete-ur”? I guess you could just decide that it should be the latter, but that’s a fairly big change from what’s done now.

I mean, Sublime costs Panic prices. It just doesn't care that much if you abuse its trial. (Wait, maybe I'm misreading your comment. Are you trying to say "Sublime is free, so Nova will have to be way better to compete with S

Firefox claims they will detect this situation and disable DoH.
