About ten years ago, I liked to express that as "multiplexing the whole Internet over port 80" (well, it's more like 443 these days, but you get the idea).

Nowadays I tend to be speechless.

I for one hope that there's a way to disable it, and that it doesn't go the way of the "disable Javascript" checkbox.

After all, I definitely don't want "my" browser to bypass the operating system's resolver.

Look, the OSI model is evolving. It's just grown an 8th layer :) We can have fun speculating which will be the 9th - Facebook API's? I can imagine just fine a future where everything other than fb is suspicious and blocked by middleware by default ;)
