Mozilla Testing DNS-over-HTTPS in Firefox | SecurityWeek.Com
Mozilla is moving forward with yet another project designed to provide users with increased security: it is now testing DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) in Firefox stable.
Only a small group of users will enjoy the feature for now, as it is still in the testing phase, but Mozilla is determined to work with industry players for a larger rollout. When that will happen, however, remains to be seen.
Mozilla has been already testing DoH in its browser, looking into the time it takes to get a response from Cloudflare’s DoH resolver. With the test results positive, revealing great performance improvements even for the slowest users, the Internet organization has decided to move forward with its plans.
“A recent test in our Beta channel confirmed that DoH is fast and isn’t causing problems for our users. However, those tests only measure the DNS operation itself, which isn’t the whole story,” Mozilla’s Selena Deckelmann explains.

Dearest Mozzillians,
I don't want my dns info retrieved from cloudflare. I use dnscrypt-proxy like a fucking adult. I don't need my browser doing this for me. Why don't you just support the stuff people have asked for for years like rtsp support? Why do you ignore what people ask for and do stuff noone asked for? A pox on your houses, I say!
thank you,
entitled bastard
