So if our resolver was on our resolver was on our laptop and had a nice UI that would work great. Now the question is : why is the resolver not in my laptop?
It can be if you want it to be, but it's probably much less interesting than you think.
You likely underestimate the sheer number of DNS records you look up just by surfing the web, and how useful that information would be to 99.99% of users.
Basically the tools exist for you to do this yourself if you are so inclined, but they may not be that user friendly since they aren't generally useful to most.
Seconded. This is a common idea which occurs to people who haven't dealt with DNS before, and it ends with a much better understanding of how many things https is used for and going back to using openDNS as your resolver.
