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.

"You can't hide your gender or race, or your purchases."
Actually, in the 90's, when there was no such thing as a switch fabric that could do line rate stateful inspection that is exactly what we had.
""security against what?"
We don't need to ask that question. The first draft of that particular specification was written in 1789. All the Internet does (or did until the ISP's were all bought out by mobbed up pirates) is digitize the exercise of existing human rights. From a constitutional standpoint, interpersonal communication is not different now than it was after the last constitutional congress. Though from a statutory standpoint it is totally different. The dichotomy between the two, being the measure of extra-jurisdictional reach by the respective legislatures, and the judiciaries that affirm their insanity.
