Just another thing that you need to remember to configure on each of the applications that don't use the system resolver, on each of your systems.
I guess for me that equates to Firefox on 3 systems. Although I have three separate Firefox profiles, so I guess that's 9 times it needs configuring. And at some point 3 copies of Chrome, and another 3 Chromiums I guess. And then whatever other apps decide they want their own custom name resolution. That's assuming I'm actively notified that they have been changed to work that way, and assuming I remember to do it after each install.
Because by the sound of it, without remembering to configure my systems, I'm going to end up in a situation where I'm now shipping off a list of all the websites I visit to some American corp for safe keeping, by default. Along with everyone else in the World.
I can't even sit here in the UK, visiting a UK website, without asking an American corp for the IP. At least today, I'm asking my ISP for the IP. A company based in my legal jurisdiction, with whom I have a business relationship.
[edit] I forgot Firefox on my phone too. Thankfully I don't have a tablet.
