Features & Capabilities

Blockchain DNS is a powerful Chrome extension that enables seamless access to websites using decentralized blockchain domains. Supporting top-level domains like .bit (Namecoin), .lib, .bazar, .coin, and .emc (Emercoin), it leverages the BDNS public web API to resolve domains from decentralized blockchain name systems.

With no configuration needed, simply install the extension and start browsing alternative DNS roots. It supports peer-to-peer networks such as Namecoin and Emercoin, which operate under blockchain principles without central authority. Additionally, it supports custom OpenNIC TLDs, a community-driven domain authority. This extension provides an easy gateway to explore a censorship-resistant and decentralized internet infrastructure right from your browser.

User Reviews

User reviews indicate that the Blockchain DNS add-on can work fast and smoothly, particularly with Emercoin DNS domains, and is functional in some browsers like Waterfox for accessing decentralized domains. However, many users report it doesn't work reliably or at all in Firefox, especially with certain domains like .bazar and nx.bit. Additionally, concerns were raised about the homepage linking to unrelated crypto platforms. Overall, the add-on has mixed performance and limited domain access, resulting in inconsistent user experiences.

Pros

Works fast and smooth
Allows resolving Emercoin DNS domains
Can access some decentralized domains (e.g., .lib) in certain browsers

Cons

Does not work consistently in Firefox (specific version 74.0.1 mentioned)
Cannot access some decentralized domains (.bazar, nx.bit)
Some users report that it doesn’t work at all
Homepage contains referral links to unrelated crypto trading platforms

Recent reviews

Doesn't work for me at all. And home page is a referral link to some crypto trading platform.

I lost my bitcoin to fake blockchain.com impostors on Twitter, they contacted me as blockchain official support and I fell stupidly for their mischievous act, this made them gain access into my blockchain wallet account, whereby 9.938 BTC was stolen from my wallet in total. I was dumbfounded because this was all my savings I banked up on, waiting for bitcoin bull run. Then my friend recommended me to an expert, I researched online at least to know more about the group and found so many testimonies about Recovery Coin Group, with the contact address-RECOVERYCOINGROUP AT GMAIL DOT COM . I decided to take the leap of faith and to my greatest surprise, all my coins were recovered back into my wallet.

Is Blockchain DNS Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Blockchain DNS requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Blockchain DNS has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
