No offence but this seems incredibly pointless and gimmicky.

Nice PR but I doubt I will bother spending time and brainpower to set something
up that doesn't have any productive benefits.

Also the fact that the altroot browser doesn't have source code and is only
available for windows is a big thumbs down. I've never heard of these guys
before, no way in hell I'm installing their software.

It's also not how you would normally implement this sort of thing. You would
normally do this as a plugin or extension to your system's DNS service, not a
browser. This is such an obvious technical point that frankly it seems
suspicious that they would implement this as a browser.

They might argue "oh but it makes it easy for the user to use", er no it
doesn't, it's easier for the user to install a background service then use the
same browser that they always use.

So thanks, but no thanks.
