## Description

The talk will cover on different ways of how ENS-powered websites could be integrated into computers natively, without any need of gateways. It will compare 3 main approaches: Custom DNS Server, DNS client modules and a web extension. The video features a presentation by Pavel, a front developer at DNS, discussing how to integrate decentralized web (D-Web) domain names, specifically those ending in .eth, into everyday internet usage. He explains that .eth is an Ethereum-based alternative to the traditional DNS system with ownership managed by a DAO and resolutions done via smart contracts. Pavel reviews several methods for resolving .eth domain names, including HTTP gateways, browser integrations like in Brave, DNS servers with Web3 support, and running a local DNS server. He highlights the challenges of each method, such as censorship risks with HTTP gateways and limited support from major DNS providers. Pavel also provides a demo showing how he resolved .eth domains locally using various tools and discusses potential improvements for D-Web accessibility. The video concludes with an audience Q&A session where Pavel advises on handling domain squatting issues.
