  Cloudflare are now behind ladybird so I’m hoping it becomes a legit challenger.

  It’s how I browse Lemmy - I sometimes forget that my home-pinned app, Voyager, isn’t actually from the app store.

    Voyager is on the play store and App Store?

      Interesting. I think when I first heard about it, it wasn’t available there yet; so I’m still using that pinned version. Probably not much different.

    I had to look it up too

    Apparently it stands for “decentralized identifiers”

    From what I’m gathering it’s a client based web protocol That works in conjunction with DNS

      Thanks. I’d already be happy with updating/mutable v2 torrents for browsing static websites via hashkey.

  I’m only just learning about this, but don’t the encrypted DNS protocols solve the privacy problem?

  Or do you mean more like not being able to trust a registrar or public DNS server?

    Usually when people complain about DNS, they’re talking about stability issues. In this case I think he’s pointing out how centralized it is, and how a bad actor could cause significant issues

    At a local level, the most common issue I know of is ISPs blocking sites at the DNS level by feeding in fake information that redirects you to one of the ISP’s blocked/parked domains. Usually implemented to prevent customers going to piracy sites. It’s not much of an issue to subvert currently, as you can simply use any public DNS provider

    That being said, much of that has been consolidated into a dozen or so tech companies. In the current political climate, I could see a coordinated effort happening between those tech companies to block sites deemed non gratis. Obviously there’s still ways to subvert it, but the vast majority of user’s won’t be able to
