How do you deal with constant SSL error messages? I tried to use Netscape for a while, it was a pleasant experience except the fact that most websites are HTTPS now and Netscape wasn't able to handle recent versions.

I'll bet it'd work if you used an HTTP proxy that the downgraded the modern protocols and encodings.
Though for general purpose browsing, the modern stuff like HTML5 / CSS3 / ES6+ would make it somewhere between unusable and nonfunctional.

I don't know if I'm more surprised by this quirk of DNS (as in, domains of the form ) working, or more impressed that someone's still got a readily-available Netscape install to test it out.
This is one of the reasons I love HN.
It's not at all a quirk of DNS.
Or I spent too much time reading O'Reilly's "DNS and BIND" and everyone else thinks "no, that's not the root-root zone, that's a quirk".

I only browse HTTP websites with Netscape, mostly my own.

I’m not using anything fancy when I visit HN, what is it doing to preview the homepage and why would it crash or prevent anything from rendering? I don’t even understand what you’re congratulating HN for other than having hyperlinks.
I can see that crashing some languages Depends how strict they are at runtime
I keep re-reading this and I just have to admit that I sincerely don’t understand. What runtime behavior is potentially crash prone in the first place? Are you saying stricter behavior would be more crash prone, or less? Which languages are more likely to be susceptible? I’m baffled and truly don’t mean to be dismissive.

A trailing dot is entirely within the spec, isn't it? For some fun: http://gs.com./ gives an error. https://news.ycombinator.com./ works, but has me logged out (probably the cookie doesn't match?).
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23479435 In 2020, someone find if you add "." in host suffix of Youtube url: http://www.youtube.com./ it will works without AD (IIRC, because AD resource file is viewed as different domain and blocked)
Alas, now it just redirects to the dotless version.
