Great! And you can already choose to do so. But it seems pretty likely that Firefox will be making that decision on behalf of all its users (except those with the wherewithal to know how to opt out), without effectively communicating the risks of that decision to them (based upon their communication about this feature so far).

There are many public DNS providers those promise to not logs DNS queries. I don't know precisely but if Mozilla forces user to use Cloudflare DNS is the deal breaker.

#6> And your ISP knows where you connect to anyways. So the data or information generated by their DNS server provides no additional information to them.
This is not correct. Your ISP only knows what IP you are connecting to and that is not enough in general. E.g. Cloudflare.

#7What about if you have private DNS servers that has sites that cloudflare does not have? For example internal intranets etc?
So mozilla will not work at all in that case?

#8I suppose a small upside to this is it will prompt some people to look into how trustworthy their ISP's DNS is.

False dichotomy. I.E. those are not the only 2 options.
