So because Google thinks I am too stupid to handle a separate URL box and search box, and they are so much smarter than me that they can write a simple if-else to discern what I want with a few bullshit DNS queries, I’m stuck with a browser that leaks information and fails to do what I want several times a day until I learn to work around this behavior. And the proposed solution is for me, dumb dumb user that I am, to run my own resolver with DNSSEC validation and NSEC caching?

I am getting close to moving to a hut in the woods and forgetting all about the internet.

I moved to the desert in a developing country. But fibre optics to the house took 4 days and is $55/month. There is no escape.
