Want faster or more reliable web browsing on your Chromebook? Switching to Google’s free public DNS servers is a quick change you can make right from Settings, no flags or experiments needed anymore.
Note: Changing your DNS server affects how your device finds websites. If anything stops working after this step, you can reverse it by switching back to Automatic in the same settings panel.
How to Switch to Google DNS
- Open Settings and go to Network.
- Click your connected Wi-Fi or Ethernet network, then click Network again to expand its details.
- Under Name servers, select Google from the dropdown.
Quick Tips
- You can also choose Custom name servers if you prefer a different provider, like Cloudflare.
- This setting applies per network, so you’ll need to repeat it if you connect to a different Wi-Fi network later.
Switching to Google DNS takes less than a minute and can make your browsing feel a little snappier.
