When did google buy the .youtube TLD? Anyone know how to view a list of corporate TLDs? (Yes I know they’re mostly owned by ICAN anymore and all therefore corporate in some sense).

Wow, there are 1502 TLDs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_dom...

.youtube isn't shocking. Google also owns .dev A lot of people used to use .dev as a reserved, localhost style dns lookup.

Fun fact, .dev forces https on modern browsers. Caused a bit of trouble when a colleague of mine tried setting up a new local test server.
