About this episode
This code was introduced for a user experience ending up taking 50% of the traffic on DNS Root server. Sorry I was touching my hair a lot just took a shower lol. With regards to this article I want to ask you guys a question, Chrome put this feature in order to improve the user experience but it ended up having a huge cost. Did you ever make a choice between performance and user experience? which one usually wins for you? would love to know your opinion Resources https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/08/a-chrome-feature-is-creating-enormous-load-on-global-root-dns-servers/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#dnsinterceptionchecksenabled https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24231857 https://blog.apnic.net/2020/08/21/chromiums-impact-on-root-dns-traffic/
