Is DNS Record Checker safe?
DNS Record Checker sends the active tab hostname or entered domain to whatsmydns.net for DNS lookup.
When you open the popup, DNS Record Checker reads the current tab's hostname or uses a domain you enter. It sends that domain, the selected DNS record type, and the selected server to whatsmydns.net to return DNS lookup results.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed DNS Record Checker contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
