Yea, it doesn't check for registrant name atm, should probably show that, if there's no registrant org.

Hm, do SSL certificates have information about the owner?

Thanks! Yea, the problem is the registrant organization of the domain is set to Namecheap. Not sure how to get around domain privacy for now.

May have a couple of bugs but one use case would be finding out that rottentomatoes.com is run by Comcast.

I might be the only one with this opinion, but this is just how the world works, and it's a good thing. If something is annoying, slow and a hassle to use, eventually something better will come along and people will jump on it. It's always been this way, why are we not watching TV ads anymore? Because there's a better option out there.

The concept seems to be that it's a worrying trend and I should be somehow ashamed for not wanting to view ads? Isn't that ridiculous? Advertisers seem to forget that it's their job to figure out how to advertise effectively. The world has moved on and no one will watch their stupid annoying ad. So they have to come up with something we will tolerate.

People are still complaining that no one is watching ads on TV and people don't buy newspapers. We moved on and they have to as well. I understand that there's small publications / blogs / businesses who are definitely not the "enemy" and I'm not saying they deserve to go out of business. But if the landscape changes, they must adapt too.

I'm sure we can all agree we are better off with Netflix than watching regular TV.
