2025-06-12	Ær*****		This used to work fine, but now reports 100% of websites as "not secure by DNSSEC" when using Cloudflare as the resolver. Setting it to Google solves the problem. Ultimately though this extension needs support for custom DoH resolvers.

2024-08-18	Ko*****		While cloudflare.com/ssl/encrypted-sni/#results tells me that "DNSSEC. Attackers cannot trick you into visiting a fake website by manipulating DNS responses for domains that are outside their control," this extension claims that "cloudflare.com not secure by DNSSEC. Domain www.cloudflare.com is not secure through DNSSEC. Your connection is prone to man-in-the-middle attacks."
