   Is Chromium 107 bypassing DNS settings?   
   31 Oct 22 15:48:10   
   
   From: noone@nowhere.net   
      
   	I run my own DNS caching server, with a series of rules that   
   return the 127.0.0.1 IPv4 address (and ::1 IPv6) for a number of hosts   
   that I don't care about. Thus, when I try to connect to any facebook.com   
   site I just get redirected to 127.0.0.1 - where there is nothing running.   
      
   	This worked as expected until recent versions of Chromium, where   
   it does not any more - such certainly is the case in the latest 107   
   version, but it may have been present already in 106. The thing is, it   
   seems to happen under Chromium and other browsers derived from the same   
   code alone - I tried under Opera and Firefox (where I made sure that DoH   
   is not enabled) and I get the behavior that I want: facebook.com is not   
   reachable. However, under Vivaldi and Chromium it is.   
      
   	Is Chromium pulling a fast one on me? Anybody know how one can   
   make sure that Chromium is using my system-wide default DNS server,   
   rather than one of its choice under the wraps?
