Does ChromeOS use Google's DNS by default?

• mauriciob 15y ago
  No, it uses the same DNS server your OS uses.

    Chrome OS, not Chrome browser.

  No. ChromeOS is actually Gentoo Linux (surprise! Didn't you know?) and it uses a relatively standard method of grabbing DNS nameservers from DHCP. You can't even change this without mucking around in the internal read-only filesystem. You can certainly assign new DNS nameservers after you've DHCP'd, but in that case, why not pick faster DNS servers than Google's?

    Thank you for your reply. I had no idea at all that it was based on Gentoo!
