Website loading fix

Some users reported that websites would not load after updating to 1.2.8, which enabled Ultra DNS by default.

Ultra DNS is now disabled by default. If you have not manually selected a DNS protection level, updating to 1.2.8.1 returns your browser to Default protection. No action is needed.

Existing DNS preferences

Your manually selected DNS settings are preserved. Ultra DNS remains available as an opt-in protection level.

If you previously selected Ultra DNS yourself and websites still fail to load, open Settings → DNS over HTTPS and select Default protection or Off.
