Oh yes, the .xxx and .porn extentions would be handy IF and ONLY IF
a) all adult sites go into these extentions
b) adult sites using another extention are offered a free .xxx or .porn domain instead of continueing to operate the site under .com or the ccTLD
Both for people like me who want to avoid adult sites, as well as people who actually search them, the new extentions could be handy subject to existing adult sites all switching to their own purpose-specific extention.
Idem dito with gambling sites for example, create extentions such as .casino or .bet but also move existing gambling sites into those extentions.
Then block adult sites and gambling sites from using .com, .net, and the ccTLD's. Both for those wanting to find them and those wanting to avoid them, this would make things easy.
As long as such sites continue to operate under .com and the ccTLD's too, the new extentions are a bit pointless.
The new extentions could make the web more easily to navigate but in the current situation this isn't happening.
And I do fear the city-specific extentions will keep causing confusion since the country-specific extentions and generic domains such as .com will still remain king, it will take a long time before people realise those new extentions are out there up and running.
