The Google Chrome browser is known for its speed, security and a responsive user-friendly interface in the browsing world. Now Google Chrome for desktop is getting more and more secure with a secure DNS (Domain Name System) feature. Overall, the secure DNS over HTTPS (DoH) feature ensures a safer and more encrypted browsing experience for its users. The secure feature provides users with additional peace of mind while surfing on the web.
A few months ago, the Secure DNS feature had to be enabled through a hidden flag as of Google Chrome 80, but with the latest version 85 of Google Chrome, it has been rolling out officially for every user.
This more secure DNS protocol helps us keep cyber attackers at bay whenever you visit a website. Moreover, it defends you from third-party sites to redirect you to phishing or malicious sites.
