#12The advantage of example.com is that its still served over HTTP, which is very helpful if you are trying to force a redirect for wifi login or 'out of quota' on a phone plan.
Let me introduce you to neverssl.com!

#14I forgot I had it installed on my phone, but clicking the link opened, to my surprise, the Simply Piano app. Why you'd associate your app with that domain for legitimate purposes is a bit of a mystery to me.
Isn't that meant to be cryptographically paired? Apps shouldn't be able to intercept random domain names whenever they want
You'd need the right info at URLs like:
https://example.com/apple-app-site-association
https://example.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association
https://example.com/.well-known/assetlinks.json (Android)
(which obviously don't exist for this domain)

The difference being, example.com is run by IANA [0] and guaranteed by them, whereas neverssl is just a kind-hearted soul, and may one day resolve to something else.

That page says that example.com is registered by IANA. It makes no promises about it being plaintext HTTP only or even that HTTP service is available.

For a while my Amazon Alexa gadget was hitting three domains several times an hour, example.com/net/org. I looked with tcpdump and verified it was following every lookup with an HTTP get.
I only left the Alexa on for a week while I was recovering from eye surgery, but it made those the top three most frequently queried domains for that whole month on my pi-hole charts.
Presumably it was some connectivity test, but all three of those domains were hosted at the same IP at the time. Which would defeat the point of using three domains, if the goal was to reduce the possibility of one outage causing a false negative on the test.

#19I wonder how they managed to get a horizontal scrollbar.
Edit: its a chrome extenstion I use.
