Secure DNS with exceptions, e.g. for local routers

It’s nice that Brave relies on secure DNS like CloudFlare in the shield, so you’re better protected on public networks.

However, there is one problem: some routers, such as the Fritz!Box, which is widely used in Europe, use fritz.box as the domain. This domain was also recently registered by third parties and not by AVM itself.

With the secure DNS of the Brave Browser, users now land on the website and no longer locally on their router login interface. This harbors certain risks of phishing attacks.

It would at least be nice if domains could be excluded from the secure DNS queries so that fritz.box actually resolves to the local IP of the router in this case.
