Can we rebuild intoDNS?

Build a Chrome extension like intoDNS — a intoDNS alternative you own.

You can easily build your own intoDNS alternative as a lightweight Chrome extension in minutes. The original simply grabs the active URL or selected text and redirects you to a DNS report page. By creating your own version, you get direct control over which lookup tools you query and how your browsing data is handled.

Why build your own intoDNS alternative

• Direct integration with multiple DNS lookup providers (Cloudflare, Google, intoDNS)
• No third-party trackers or unnecessary permissions
• Ability to inspect DNS records via public DoH APIs directly inside the popup
• Custom hotkeys and right-click actions customized to your workflow

What it costs vs what you'd save

The starter prompt

Build a Chrome extension that analyzes domain DNS records. It should add context menu options for links and selected text to open their intoDNS.com lookup page in a new tab, and provide a popup action that instantly queries the current tab's hostname.

Features you could add that intoDNS doesn't have

Because you own the code, these are a follow-up prompt away — tap one to add it to the prompt above.

• Multi-provider Lookup — Add one-click options to check Whois, DNSPropagator, or SecurityTrails alongside intoDNS.
  + add to prompt
• Inline DNS Inspector — Fetch live DoH records directly within the extension popup without opening a new tab.
