this would work if we had free DNS. solving DNS to be trully decentralized and free is something for years I wish I had more time to work on and build

key properties:

1. everyone can be a registar. your localhost too

2. blockchain proof of ownership and discovery (certs, not proof-of-work, fast and cheap ledger)

3. everyone can be a CA (self-signed certs pinned in blockchain)

4. no fixation on static IPs (inspired by Cloudflare Tunnels, Tailscale). IPs are ephemeral.

5. blockchain/P2P discovery of domains

but it is all fantasy without real browsers support (Chrome, Safari). 99.999% of traffic is locked there, and both controlled by monopolies Google / Apple. and you cannot even build your own browser (Apple App Store will not allow it). Maybe alternative stores and some proxies / translation layer from normal web to this web would help.
