I do but I always know if they are valid before I click on them, so I don't see the appeal of the DNS lookup. Plus that must be freaking slow.
Not necessarily slow, DNS Lookups are generally pretty fast: ~ dig somerandomurlimadeup.com | grep 'Query time: ' ;; Query time: 23 msec
Given the level of concern, I will change the default and release a new version right away.

(On a typical macbook on WiFi, this will do it:) sudo tcpdump -i en0 -s 5000 -n port 53 On mine, these get resolved every 30 seconds (probably some Adobe updater): scss-prod-ue1-notif-39.adobesc.com. Several servers get lookups of names long enough to be exfiltrating data: r3---sn-nvopjoxu-25ve.gvt1.com. (Google) gzunified-ecselas…
