Features & Capabilities

Control D Quick Setup is a handy Chrome extension designed to simplify the process of configuring your device to use the ControlD.com DNS service. With just a single click, you can start using any ControlD DNS resolver on your Android device, enhancing your browsing experience through improved DNS filtering.

Though optional, this extension leverages Android's VPN service to route only DNS traffic via ControlD, providing filtering without extensive system changes. While the Android Private DNS feature is recommended for no-install usage, Control D Quick Setup offers a convenient alternative for easy setup and management of ControlD DNS resolvers.

User Reviews

Control D Quick Setup is praised for its effective ad and tracker blocking, user-friendly design, and minimal battery usage, making it ideal for enhancing privacy on various devices. It also supports family security by restricting access to settings. However, users commonly report connectivity problems such as complete traffic blocking and unreliable network exclusion. The app has occasional bugs and a need for additional features like app-specific exceptions. Despite these issues, it remains a solid privacy tool, especially for devices lacking Private DNS functionality.

Works well as a DNS blocking tool, especially on older devices without Private DNS options.
User-friendly interface that is easy to set up and use.

Cons

App occasionally blocks all traffic unexpectedly, causing internet connectivity issues.
Network exclusion feature does not work properly, leading to DNS blocks even on excluded networks.
Internet connection can drop when the phone goes to sleep, requiring manual restart of the app.
Lack of certain advanced features such as adding exceptions for specific applications.
Some users report bugs and crashes when trying to use the app.

Worked fantastically for the first few days, then unexpectedly began to block all traffic while enabled. Like: the notification showing # blocked requests. Dislike: all requests failing to resolve 😕
