Chrome Net internal DNS is a program that allows one to inspect and adjust Chrome’s DNS cache. A temporary database is a DNS cache that stores data called DNS lookups. DNS lookups are essential because they translate human-readable domain names into computer-readable IP addresses. To put it in simple words, a PC requires an IP address to visit the web page or website, so it asks the DNS server to interpret and decode the human language into mechanical language. Therefore, we need Chrome Net internal DNS for support.
