That doesn't mean it's suddenly in scope for a browser. The solution would be for the OS to support it, not for the browser to do an end-run around the OS's DNS

That doesn't mean it's suddenly in scope for a browser. The solution would be for the OS to support it, not for the browser to do an end-run around the OS's DNS settings.
- orf 8y agoIt is exactly in scope for a browser. The whole point is to stop your ISP getting your browsing history. Sure, would be nice for the OS to support it, but until that future point why wait.

Because with the current system I can configure my DNS to my liking at my router and it propagates to all devices. Replacing that with a system where after every Firefox update I have to double check whether Firefox is still doing what I want on all devices is a total pain in the ass by comparison.
