so, there's a concurrent post about how 1.1.1.1 had an outage. Does that mean web browsing won't work if that happens again? If not, does that mean it will fall

  This isn't any different from if your normal DNS server is blocked, and 1.1.1.1 is not the only encrypted DNS provider. If whatever DNS you use doesn't work, then you cannot resolve any new domain names until you change to another DNS server or it gets fixed. Recently used domains will be cached in will thus still work.

    > Recently used domains will be cached in will thus still work. Except for the many domains that set very low TTLs for load balancing and cloudiness reasons.

      The point is, this isn't a new problem. This problem still exists in the current way of doing things.

  The post also notes that they won't be using the 1.1.1.1 address, though they'll be using Cloudflare. They'll likely be using another address which is less likely to be blocked.

    Most likely because 1.1.1.1 still doesn't work on networks like AT&T.
