I may be mistaken, but I always thought DNS resolution was handled by the underlying OS, and not by the browser through HTTP. Support from browser vendors would probably matter a great deal for this, but not at a technical/implementation level, right?
- 0xcde4c3db 7y agoConventionally, yes, but that's changing somewhat with the deployment of DNS over HTTPS.
- crb3 7y agoChrome already ignores OS-level name-resolution in favor of phoning home directly to Google DNS unless you block their IP#s at your border. I see it daily in etherape. Side-effect: Chrome users on my LAN have to type in IP#s to browse local resources because their browser ignores my dnsmasq, which resolves the split horizon.
- profmonocle 7y agoDo you mean Chrome or the Chromecast? The Chromecast totally ignores network-configured DNS and uses 8.8.8.8. The Chrome browser has its own DNS client, but it doesn't phone home to Google DNS - it still uses the DNS servers configured by the OS.
