LinkFrame Extension

Handshake - an open, Blockchain-based alternative to DNS.

However, for using Handshake you typically need to configure you own DNS server. This process requires some in-depth technical understanding, time, and generally leads to frustration.

LinkFrame is an alternative to setting up you own DNS to surf Handshake domains.

Install an extension, and you're ready to go.

Extension currently supports:
- resolving domains which lead to IP addresses
- resolving domains which lead to SIA Skynet hashes
- resolving domains which lead to dns.live redirects
- resolving domains which lead to normal redirects

There is plans to support:
- resolving domains which lead to IPFS hashes

This extension allows you to configure any Handshake node as a base node for domain resolution. By default extension will use public node maintained by EasyChain team.

Currently extension is in its alpha stage, so feedback is appreciated.
