This is objectively a terrible decision. Technologically, politically, culturally. We had a very good design in DNS, and people are throwing it away because they're terrified about the potential that their ISP might use their data. Never mind that Netflix already does it to them when they watch TV, Target does it to them when they buy condoms at the store, Google does it with their mail and search results, ESPN does it to them when they play fantasy football, and Starbucks does it to them when they buy their venti mocha frap. But because Comcast might <i>also</i> know what they do in their private life, we should ditch one of the internet's most important protocols, and give all our data to Cloudflare, a central TCP-based US-owned DNS resolver.<p>Nobody in the world needs DNS over HTTPS. If you actually need to hide your DNS requests, you have bigger problems that you need a real VPN for. This is a unilateral political decision by the people who have the most power over browsers because they have an emotional obsession with privacy, even if it makes technology in general worse.
