  11. Supplement DNS w/ hosts (better speed) by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Firefox's Optional Tracking Protection Reduces Load Time For News Sites By 44%

    See subject & for less resources consumed + less "moving part" for breakdown OR exploitation:

    APK Hosts File Engine 9.0++ SR-2 32/64-bit:

    http://start64.com/index.php?o...

    FREE & adds speed, security, + reliability, doing more with less, more efficiently vs. addons + fixes DNS' redirect security issues!

    Local hosts files consume less power vs. DNS!

    Especially vs. LOCALLY installed DNS servers (especially on a separate machine but less on same single system but still there) & they definitely consume more CPU cycles, RAM, & other forms of I/O needlessly + add complexity of setup + deny tables are MORE COMPLEX to write than simple hosts blocking entries are by far...

    HOWEVER:

    Hosts, when combined w/ a filtering REMOTE DNS, such as OpenDNS (patched vs. the Kaminsky redirect flaw, 99.999% of ISP DNS aren't + OpenDNS filters threats), hosts & remote DNS compliment one another like 'bread & butter' do!

    Using my program shown below, one can place their favorite websites they spend MOST of their time online @ the TOP of a custom hosts file which caches into RAM (for me, that's like 95++% locally queried FASTER from hosts with no remote query-turnaround timelag OR risk of redirection poisonings), & resolves as FAST as possible (since hosts are the 1st thing queried by the IP stack by default).

    BONUS for DNS admins: Hosts lighten up the request load, making the server work less, thus less chance for breakdown + power consumption too!
