So,whats the story here?<p>Did ya know Chrome makes random DNS requests at startup too? At first I thought it was thread or dll injection by malware or a bad extension. Turns out they&#x27;re just making sure it gets nxdomain instead of a redirect to an isp sponsored parked page.<p>Either way,it looks funny but it isn&#x27;t bad. It wouldn&#x27;t be too difficult to see the logic behind the app generating this traffic I&#x27;d think.
