Another aspect of the problem, is that the browsers unified the address
bar and the search bar in order to "improve" (make simpler than
possible) the browser user interface. This creates a fundamental
ambiguity about user intent. Did the user type a URL sans scheme prefix
or a search term? Using the PSL to "disambiguate" is a hack.
browsers gonna browse. there's nothing we can do about that in the
protocols. time was, any character-by-character current value in the
browser bar which was syntactically valid as a domain name (by regex
without reference to a PSL or any other dictionary) would be sent to the
DNS resolver. apparently this wasn't monetizing enough. we march on.
