The post has one thing right: DNS should be OS-wide, not app-specific. What Mozilla does is understandable, tho: it is really hard to set up DoH, even I as a techie haven't bothered yet, let alone...
The post has one thing right: DNS should be OS-wide, not app-specific. What Mozilla does is understandable, tho: it is really hard to set up DoH, even I as a techie haven't bothered yet, let alone your everyday regular normal guy.
But the tone and manner of the post is shouting provocation, sweet internet outrage, clickbait... reminiscent of stuff like chemtrails.
DoH can be OS-wide too, though tbf, most browsers already ignore the system resolver outright (Chrome/Firefox on Linux/Windows do this) and have their own DNS cache too.

The author is insane. DoH is only turned on by default in Firefox for US users to begin with. His only valid criticism of the move is that by default Firefox uses a US-based DNS. Anyone using Firefox in the US presumably already has that problem, so DoH is purely a net benefit for the users getting it by default. The insane alarmist tone in the article almost makes me question the author's motives.
It's disabled for me, in the US, on 70.0b5 Developer. And there's an option to specify my own provider rather than CloudFlare, so this article seems alarmist and silly. Plus doesn't DoH mean...

Plus doesn't DoH mean nobody, even CloudFlare, can see my requests directly since they're encrypted?
Afaik, no. The dns requests are only encrypted in transit. If cloudflare is the intended recipient then they will decrypt them when they get them. Plus, how would they be able to understand the...

Very sensationalist. DoH is a useful technology that will improve privacy for users.

DoH was already disabled for me on Firefox 69.0.0 (Windows 10). Does anyone know under what conditions it's on by default? A fresh install, perhaps?
afaik only enabled for US users for now
I'm in the US.
Edit: It looks like this isn't actually rolled out yet. Mozilla says it'll be the default this fall.
