Siderite's DNS Resolver: Chrome Extension for DNS Resolution

"Siderite's DNS Resolver" is a Chrome extension that works in the background to remember prior host-to-IP resolutions. In case a Domain Name System (DNS) server fails, the extension provides a count of failed DNS that has cached IPs. It allows you to copy-paste this information into the hosts' file to ensure resolution to the known IP. Offering an 'auto-replace' option, it replaces the host with IP, with certain limitations. The extension strictly respects your privacy by not communicating externally, but only caching visited host data.
