To protect query privacy, browser maker will run everything through Cloudflare
On Friday, Mozilla said it plans to implement the DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) protocol by default in its Firefox browser, with a slow rollout starting in late September.
Under development since 2017, DoH transfers domain name system queries – which try to match domain names with server IP addresses – over an encrypted HTTPS connection rather than an unprotected HTTP one. This prevents third-parties like network service providers from seeing the websites internet users visit. Though DoH provides more privacy than the status quo, it's controversial where lack of privacy is assumed or required, such as monitored environments that insist on content filtering, among other reasons.
