Surely it can be seen why this comes off as shady. Browser vendor inks deal w/ third party company. Deal includes special provisions company will not otherwise provide users of its service. Browser vendor promises to give preference to third party company. Details of deal, at least to me, are not very transparent.
In general I agree that using other DNS providers besides the ISPs has benefits. But not sure I think it should funnel to a single, preferred company. Nor do I think that they should collect anything at all, reduced compared to their original or not. I think some transparency is deserved here about the contract if/when a regular FF release is shipped encouraging users to use Cloudflare, specifically around the motives of wanting this data. Granted, I am a bit more paranoid than most.
