This is so low of these UK ISPs to take a swing at the non-profit Firefox instead of Google's proposed for-profit instance of DoH with Chrome.
Their only plausible motive would therefore seem to be that they currently enjoy profiting off your raw browsing data and violating your privacy at the highest level by spying on it and selling it. It can hardly be plausible that 'safety' is what they're concerned about.
I have always chosen ISPs that seem to support the little guy, and if there were one that wasn't in this Association to make a point, I'd join it. Can anyone in the UK speak to this to help out our UK readers?
- NeedMoreTea 7y agoAndrews and Arnold are outside ISPA, have a healthy respect of privacy and a healthy disrespect of logging and block lists. The owner blogs at https://www.revk.uk https://www.revk.uk Zen are in ISPA, but don't participate in any blocking or filtering. They both provide service leagues ahead of the big ones, have tech support that's UK based and actually have a clue what they're on about.
- jen20 7y agoI don’t know their ISPA status but I have been incredibly impressed with Aquiss, who offer similar levels of support to A&A. They also offer month-to-month phone lines and internet service without a minimum term, which is unusual in the UK.
- NeedMoreTea 7y agoZen don't have minimum terms, seem to remember A&A have a one off setup fee for no term. The majors prefer you not to leave when you realise they're crap. :)
- jen20 7y agoGood to know - thanks for the info!
- Thorrez 7y agoDoes Chrome support DoH?
- ga-vu 7y agoIt's lower that Mozilla caved in to pressures. I guess someone from the ISPs told Mozilla that MPAA/RIAA may soon sue them too, as the two orgs have sued the hell out of ISPs for not filtering traffic.

Alternative take: DNS level blocking is sufficient to get the UK watchdogs off their backs, and DoH means that there will be requirements for something more intrusive soon. Instead of putting up a fight with the UK censors, they chose to deflect the blame to Mozilla. In this interpretation they're not evil data resellers, they're merely spineless.
