An article discussed on HN's front page () has the following footnote (see pic). Browsers have their own DNS cache, and extensions can create their own cache so as to avoid having to DNS-lookup every network request. The statement ignores this fact.

My expectation is that *when* uBO needs to make a DNS lookup, the browser will cache the result and thus will reuse the result should uBO not block the network request. Thus I do not expect uBO's own DNS lookup to cause extraneous latency as opposed to what the article suggests.

The footnote also says: "Firefox for desktop does allow extensions..." It's not just Firefox for desktop, Firefox for Android also supports the same extensions API.

Google are planning (released?) http cache partitioning. I'm sure if they can convince Mozilla they could do similar "mitigations" for DNS extensions.
