- midasuni 3y agoHow could I possibly have more control over a browser? I have multiple applications that resolve DNS, I want to configure their resolver in a single location. Maybe I want to run systemd-resolved, maybe I want to run dnsmasq, maybe I want to point to a central dns server on my network I don’t want my browser independently ignoring my piguard, or ignoring my local dns entries. Nor do I want to have to configure my browser separately from the majority of my software which obeys my instructions, life is too short. DNS is a system level resource. I configure it with dhcp, giving me a single location to configure no matter told it’s my phone, desktop, laptop, other laptop, or any other device. All block certain sites for various reasons. It is my softwares responsibility to listen to my instructions. Sadly it seems more common for browsers to ignore my instructions. Unsurprising when the most common browser is run by an ad company.
