Mozilla rolls out DoH to Canadian users of Firefox
There&#x27;s a lot of lament that this bypasses the operating system level config, but I feel like we wouldn&#x27;t be here if the operating system had stepped up their DNS any time in the last several years.<p>This is a workaround for the fact that many networks are hostile to DNS lookups (injecting ads, tracking, captive portals), and operating systems continue to just default to the ISPs DNS provider, which is often hostile.<p>OS&#x27;s could have switched to running their own local caching resolver ala unbound years ago, could have integrated DNSCrypt or DoT years ago.  But instead the defaults are still horribly unsecure for the average user.<p>For the techie user who&#x27;s running PiHole or some custom local DNS, yeah this will be annoying, but for the average user who&#x27;s just delegating to their ISP that is then tracking their DNS lookups and injecting ads if they mistype a domain, this is a win.
