Um, use Brave, or any other decent web3 browswer. Put in any .eth URL, and it works fine. Eth.link was a crutch. A silly hack that makes it so you can take a .eth URL, add ".link" to it, and get onto .eth sites without having to use a modern browser.

Thankfully, not querying random blockchains is not what makes a modern browser.
Actually, I'd love for cryptobros to try to make a browsers on their own, just for the lulz. I'm guessing it fails at about... eh maybe they'll make a CSS parser before there's a rug pull on BrowserCoin

The original comment, for which a citation was requested, was:
"If browsers had built-in Web3 functionality, the eth.link relay wouldn't be needed, and this whole situation would be moot."
The parent comment substantiates the claim, by citing Brave's ENS integration, and the lack of a need for a .link relay to access .eth domains when using it.

No, the comment implied that browsers not allowing you to access websites on your favourite shitcoin without going through a normal TLD are not modern browsers.

So you focused on 2 words rather than the main content of the comment

When these two words have been very obviously selected and added in purpose to make people believe that web3 is the future (when all it is is a pitiful attempt at both hijacking a term and a pitiful attempt at getting people to pay for literally any interaction online) and that anyone not having access to it is in the past, yes.
Cryptobros have this tendancy of being very obvious in their cult-like behaviour.

If you think Web3 is not the future, that's a perfectly reasonable position to have, and possibly correct, but it'd be more constructive to substantiate it instead of merely spewing vitriol and ad hominem.

Isn’t Brave just using their own relay?
