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.
