| Description: |
| effective_tld_names contains the public suffix list. From publicsuffix.org: |
| |
| A "public suffix" is one under which Internet users can directly |
| register names. Some examples of public suffixes are ".com", ".co.uk" |
| and "pvt.k12.wy.us". The Public Suffix List is a list of all known |
| public suffixes. |
| |
| The Public Suffix List is an initiative of the Mozilla Project, but is |
| maintained as a community resource. It is available for use in any |
| software, but was originally creaated to meet the needs of browser |
| manufacturers. It allows browsers to, for example: |
| |
| * Avoid privacy-damaging "supercookies" being set for high-level |
| domain name suffixes |
| * Highlight the most important part of a domain name in the user |
| interface |
| * Accurately sort history entries by site |
| |
| Local Modifications: |
| * The DOMAIN REGISTRY PROVIDER SYNTHESIZED DOMAINS section of |
| effective_tld_names.dat was generated by scripts/synthesize_entries.py |
| When you updatingeffective_tld_names.dat, synthesize_entries.py needs to be |
| run to create that section. |
