#32623: Tor Browser should support ENS --------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: bryguy | Owner: tbb-team Type: enhancement | Status: needs_information Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Applications/Tor Browser | Version: Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Actual Points: Parent ID: | Points: Reviewer: | Sponsor: Sponsor27-can --------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
Comment (by bryguy): Thanks @asn I may misunderstand, but the concern about a "backdoor" may really be a question about decentralized ownership of a blockchain resource - in this case ownership of the root domain ".eth". So instead of control by one IANA in DNS, the ENS service is owned by 7 Ethereum devs - if that is indeed the case, sorry I am not an expert. The code for the smart contracts as deployed on mainnet seems legit. Only the owner of a node can update it - no backdoor I can see. ENS seems to have some advantages to DNS, albeit with the risks cited in the ticket about ENS and Ethereum and this being relatively new. I doubt ENS could turn evil - they will have competition. Ethereum crashing doubtful too. Hope TorBrowser considers this idea further. Cheers mates. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/32623#comment:5> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
