Onion rewrites should add eTLDs
If we want to extend the possibility to add custom *.tor.onion
(or some similar domains) in runtime, we should hack somehow nsEffectiveTLDService
.
This feature is very important: it is used to split domains when scoping whatever needs to be domain-scoped (e.g., cookies). So, I expect it to be critical for FPI.
Actually, nsEffectiveTLDService
already has a mechanism to update public suffixes, that we patch out (#40073 (closed)).
But it uses some non trivial binary format that encodes a deterministic acyclic finite state automaton.
This format is explained in xpcom/ds/tools/make_dafsa.py
(the code itself is about ~200 Python rows).
If the only reason for #40073 (closed) to exist was our changes to the list, we could restore it, and find some way to inject our additional domains at every update of the automaton.
@JeremyRand was suggesting to use some prefs.
I also thought of adding some other methods to the IOnionAliasService
interface that we implemented for #40458 (closed).
