InterNetX took a look back at the extensions that hit general availability in 2022. .Kids is the one where I wonder if it will get traction with so many focused on a safe space for children online. I guess we will see in the months to come. The post also mentioned what's coming in 2023. Of course a new round new gtld's could be coming as well.
