Pretty sure I remember finding this ctrl.blog page when fighting with this systemd-related Ubuntu bug that changed resolv.conf to use "127.0.0.53":

My hate for this whole situation (but especially the fact that it broke resolution of short names with search domains) is bone-deep.

It also adds to my hate for Google Chrome..

"The primary purpose of adding 127.0.0.53 to resolv.conf is for client software that wants to do DNS resolution by itself instead of using NSS -- most notable example is Google Chrome, and third-party software which is statically linked (e. g. Go)."

All this mess just to work around Chrome? That's annoying.
