The feature isn’t even mentioned in Mozilla’s data protection policies. The only way for users to turn it off is to find the opt-out function in a sub-menu of the browser’s settings.

Irritatingly, a Mozilla developer justifies the move by claiming that users can’t make an informed decision.

This is all IN ADDITION to them turning on DoH (DNS over HTTP) without permission which nullifies ad blockers.

We have heard this a million times. The feature you're referencing is a net positive for privacy and yet the zealots just cannot accept that fact.

First of all, every would is true. Nanana boo-boo is not a rebuttal.

Second, if it is so awesome for people and not about tracking, why do you sneak in changes that circumvent anti tracking without telling people about it and burying the change in submenus?

How many people regularly read submenus?

You're so right about all of this /s

DNS over HTTPS is very good for privacy and security. Even Librewolf turns it on.

Putting ads in Firefox is bad in so many ways but encrypted DNS is good as it keeps DNS actually secure.

Not if you leave it at default, which is cloudflare, and is the only option. Fuckers MITM-ed half the internet, and now they're after DNS. I'd rather trust my ISP and NSA more than them.

There are a relatively small amount of DNS over HTTPS servers. It makes sense they would go with a bigger company. Also having it on by default bypasses a lot of censorship.

I don't like Cloudflare and I personally switched it to quad9
