  • (2020-04-06) WGHS Robotics: DNS translates a name into an IP address. This is not DNS per-se, it is just a search plugin for the url bar. If an analogy was needed with a network service perhaps this is more like a proxy redirector than DNS. Keep in mind: with this you will still be misdirected if your DNS/hosts file is pointing the name into a different IP than it should be.

  • (2020-04-06) Erik Uden: This is the most helpful and accurate extension I have! Due to extreme marketing these days you can never know if the website you're on is real or fake, yet with this extension I can finally be sure I'm getting on the right sites. For every person that's fearing to be phished, it will be a lot harder for that to happen with this extension.
