The setting will be disabled on platforms not supporting this feature. It's currently supported only on Firefox. **Important note when using extension-based proxy service:** Extension-based proxy services are often done on-the-fly through a [browser API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/proxy/onRequest), and in such case uBO's own DNS queries to uncloak canonical names will **NOT** be caught and proxied by an extension-based proxy service. So you may want to disable this setting when using an extension-based proxy service.
