Vlad I am not asking for custom DNS.

However, re-requesting DNS is a nice to have feature. So even in manual refresh, you can make a distinction.

Re-request DNS for

  • only root domain
  • when DNS response is 0.0.0.0
  • when user clicks on reload icon in url bar instead of cmd+R (just an idea) (it can still be implemented for both ways of refresh).

I also think that as features and settings will increase in Orion, you will have to add an "Advanced" tab in preferences window (or some other mechanism). So if you do add it, enabling this feature can be put there.

      so you would rerequest for site.com but not site.com/path?

          Vlad

          By root domain I mean, the domain in url bar.

          Sorry for using wrong? term - I was trying to make a distinction between url bar url (which I called root url) and requests from the webpage that are blocked (like ad domains).

          This is because there are websites that keep on requesting a domain again and again if it is blocked.

              joystmp So DNS should be re-requested if

              if DNS response is 0.0.0.0 and the request came from either address bar either by using typing url or reloading it in some way?

              (we need to be specific as possible because it is not something safari/webkit have)

                  Vlad

                  reloading it in some way

                  Firefox didn't have any restriction on kind of reload (so Orion should also not have any such restriction, although it is still an idea).

                  typing url

                  Not necessarily. It can also be a linked opened in new tab.

                  if DNS response is 0.0.0.0 and the request came from either address bar

                  Yes

                  Basically, it should be a request only from url bar being blocked.

                      Or, it can only refresh DNS on View->Reload Page Without Cache

                      Vlad changed the title to Refresh DNS on View->Reload Page Without Cache .

                        I expected Orion to behave like the other browsers I use when it comes to reloading certificates. So when I realised it didn’t have this feature, I had already wasted time debugging my site’s setup, only to find that the real issue was with the browser.

                        I’d be grateful if this feature could be added. I would personally prefer it reloads certificates when using "Reload Page Without Cache", but it could also be a separate thing by itself.
                        I’m only commenting here because this thread has been quiet since it was tagged as “planned” over two years ago.
