The question wasn’t about avoiding installing but running proprietary software.
Comment on Any domain registrar/hosting provider that does not require propietary software to run?

What exactly do you mean? Typically you go to a website, register the domain, setup payment and then setup the nameserver. No need to install anything on your end.
Same with hosting. You sign up, setup payment, order a machine (root or virtual) and then you get SSH credentials and are good to go.

But as I said: once the DNS entries are set up, everything is routed directly to your machine. What runs there is completely in your hands. Same with VPS/root server: SSH is free. Pick the client you like.
I don’t know of a single registrar or hoster that I can’t run without libre software.

I get thy stand on this, personally I also have to compromise my software freedom to register my domains, but again OP asked to avoid X and saying after doing X you won’t have to is not answering the question.

But he said “proprietary software to run”, not to “setup” or “register” or whatever.

He wants one he an run without adding an exception on NoScript.
Personally, I don’t know of any.

I mean … that’s basically how the internet works today. And even if you don’t “run” proprietary stuff on your end, their service as a whole is still proprietary. So it seems like a pointless battle, IMO.
I would rather ensure to use a browser where I trust its sandbox to properly isolate the shit it has to run inside.
