molto leggero rispetto ad altri, speriamo faccia bene il suo lavoro

Marco Persichini, 2024-10-08

the notification on malware sites is prompt. it is queued before the prompt of any other similar extension and service!! ATTENTION: BUT - It OPENS GOOGLE DNS servers ON THE BROWSER... EVEN IF - Specific DNS server is selected in DOH Secure Server - at the system level or the browser level !!! Is there a technical issue, and what are the implications, if any?? Regards (the one star is only to draw attention to this issue) *****
