Default Firefox to enable DNS-over-HTTPS by default to US users

want that data in exchange for their funding? And do we
trust Cloudflare, the DNS server they're using?


Personally, I don't trust anything. But it's still better than Google's. And
I have to use one, at least.

I recently
set up Unbound, which is a DNS resolver. It's a pain to set up.
(OSS, no docs, the typical problems.) But it takes care of
DNS over HTTPS. No need to trust Firefox. DNS is a
system function that Firefox is offering to take over.


Unbound doesn't seem to support DoH accoring to its description on its
official "About" web page, as well as Wikipedia; or may be they don't
mentioned it. But it's an encryption-only DNS resolver, so it's a good
alternative for DoH. It also support DNSCrypt, which I'm currently using.
Worth a look.
