Where do you live, that sucks less?
The UK doesn't seem so good any more from recent reports though. :(

Unfortunately no. The entire point of DoH is to bypass the ability of the users to prevent browsers from providing browsing habits to their owners.
No, that is not the entire point of DoH. That’s like saying the entire point of TLS is to prevent users from looking at the traffic being sent to a website. DNS without DoH, DoT, or DoQ, is wide open to anyone snooping traffic in the raw, that’s not necessarily information you want to share with the world.
In the case of mobile apps, it is.

There were other encrypted standards(dnscrypt for example) that didn't require you to do that, but the one that bypasses the OS was forced by adtech monopolist in charge.

Shed a tear for the Firefox that could have been
Firefox Nightly just got official vertical tabs. It is also just as fast as Chrome now, subjectively just browsing around. No issues with Google services like Youtube (I'm an addict) I keep Chrome installed just in case, and Edge due to being on Windows.
* side tabs, I would say, the tab is a horizontal extension of the page, so they're horizontal tabs, right?

Mozilla is a Google vassal and nothing more. Google analytics? Check. Firefox Safebrowsing sending your private tab traffic to google? Of course! https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/firefox Mozilla only has their Google billion$ in mind, not you. https://digdeeper.neocities.org/articles/mozilla

Whoever that creator is it looks like they've even missed some things too. I didn't see anything about the Mr Robot fiasco, or that one time they pushed a pop up ad at everyone and then, after the backlash, told the firefox users who were upset about it to add a line to about:config that would only disable the one ad they'd already clicked past: browser.vpn_promo.enabled = true Keeping the door open for using browser.whatever_else_promo.enabled later on I guess.
This is a tough situation. Yes, this can, and will, be abused for tracking users across domains that they don't expect to be related. But there are also legitimate use cases for this. For example, consider the stackexchange family of sites. They are clearly related, have a unified branding, etc. but are on separate domains. On Firefox, which blocks third party cookies, I have to log in to each of those domains separa…

DoH and similar technologies don't override /etc/hosts. They're just a different way of making DNS queries. The entire point of these technologies is to prevent your ISP and everyone else along the way from knowing which websites you visit.

More correctly, the point is to shift all that from one organization to another. Maybe you trust Google or Mozilla more than you trust your ISP, but I don't think it's the same for everyone.
You could even argue that your ISP can already see which hosts you connect to, so using it's DNS resolvers doesn't add much information for them. Using DoH means that both your ISP and another party can see that.

Not that it makes him any less opposed to same-sex marriage, but I think 'vocal' is very much not the right word here. The only quotes I can find from him on the subject are him saying he's not going to talk about it.
"Unrepentant financial supporter of opposition to same-sex marriage" is a more accurate description.
Have been using Firefox for a long time, no issues, though long ago when I had little memory, Chrome was using less of it. Firefox also has HTTPS-only mode, encrypted DNS without fallbacks, supports SOCKS and Encrypted Client Hello (although almost no website support it). However, it is better to just buy more memory (unless you are lucky to use Apple products). Regarding analytics, I believe browsers should take use…
