Google Chrome 3.0.195.33 has DNS pre-fetching feature enabled by default. If a user is using Chrome with a proxy, the DNS queries must go through the proxy by design, but with the DNS pre-fetching enabled they are still sent to the system's configured DNS cache.
This seems also true for the SOCKS proxy in Chromium regardless of whether DNS pre-fetching is enabled or not as shown here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=29914 I have not verified the SOCKS proxy issue. This presents a serious risk for the users of the services such as Tor, as their DNS data and the little anonymity they have with tor is leaked outside and in the clear. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
