Google Chrome on my laptop randomly decided my blog’s domain doesn’t exist. Except, it clearly does. Searching for a solution tells me to do everything from restarting the computer to deleting all browser history – which should be obviously wrong, not to mention annoying. Here’s the laziest quickest way I solved it:
- Go to chrome://net-internals/#dns and click “Clear host cache”
- That didn’t work.
- Go to chrome://settings/security and use a different secure DNS provider from the default
Considering Google decided to be evil (notice those are 3 separate links) and does the same mass data hervesting and privacy violations as every other big tech company, we shouldn’t be using anything they touch. However, the least we can do and still have a compatible browser is to stop using their “secure” DNS provider anyhow..
