Warp bypassed government blocked sites in my country (the UK - which blocks RT.com as part of war efforts). I'm not sure how long they'll be able to run such a service till the government tells them they have to implement site blocking.

The UK is fighting a losing battle. Right now they snoop SNI headers and terminate connections to banned websites. But ECH is ready to be rolled out

Doesn't work on Firefox for Android. Edit: as noted in another comment, it works when removing the final dot.

Is there any good reason to support this notation for URLs? Do you think this format would be faster to parse than regular IPs?

Its been around since like 1996 at least, likely earlier. Its A.B.C.D with A 255^3 + B 255^2 + C 255^1 + D 255^0. Used to get around filters a long time ago but broke as most sites host multiple domains and it needs your browsers 'hostname' it sends it as part of the request to actually return the right site/page.
