It's connecting to the outside world via the router. It would have to 'tunnel' through the router somehow wouldn't it as otherwise the router will 'see' any attempts to do DNS type things.
I guess the browser can talk to numeric addresses just using the router as the default route but that's still assuming the router doesn't have its own internal 'investigation' of what's being passed through it. Are you saying that Chromium/Vivaldi have some fixed IP addresses that they use for DNS servers out on the internet? -- Chris Green ยท
