DNSSEC Validator Chrome Extension: Secure Browsing at Your Fingertips

The 'DNSSEC Validator' is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your online safety. It performs checks on DNSSEC DNS records for the domain names of the web page you visit. It then informs you of the existence and validity of these records through color keys and information texts in your browser's address bar. Remember, the extension works alongside an external binary application, which needs to be downloaded separately, and their versions should match for the optimal functionality.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

DNSSEC Validator is an add-on for the web browser, which allows you to check the existence and validity of DNSSEC DNS records for domain names in the address of the page currently displayed in your browser window. The result of this check is displayed using colour keys and information texts in the page’s address bar.

IMPORTANT! This add-on communicates with an external binary application through the native messaging interface. The binary application is required for correct working of the add-on. The binary can be downloaded from www.dnssec-validator.cz/pages/download.html#package. Keep in mind that the version of the binary and of the extension must match.
