Re: Google are cunts

Gyurik,

Chrome simply uses its own dns which does not *need* to take any notice of your host file.

Typically this is 8.8.8.8 and/or 8.8.4.4.

This is particularly noticable on android although this can be worked around !!!

I filter and redirect any attempt to use 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 on my router.

If you have an Asus router see https://www.snbforums.com/threads/diversion-the-router-ad-blocker.48538/

Also https://kazoo.ga/pixelserv-tls/ and https://github.com/jedisct1/dnscrypt-proxy

All together gives you *lots* of control over ads and undesirable IP's etc.

Filters everything at the router and makes browsing much much more pleasurable and faster.
