> the company has no plans to switch Chrome users to its own DNS servers.

Meanwhile, the Chromecast inexplicably ignores DHCP/NDP-provided DNS servers and uses 8.8.8.8 for all queries.

I don't think that's true anymore. I've blocked my Chromecasts accessing Google's DNS servers and then just fall back to the ones from DHCP.

When this came up on hn before someone from Google said it was because they'd had problems with malformed responses from other DNS providers.
