> Getting all operating systems to do that, across the board, is much harder than changing a cross-platform browser. Is it? I understand that Debian has just added support. It should be as easy for Google to add it to Android as add it to Chrome. That leaves only Apple and Microsoft -- and even before that, anyone who likes to can set the DNS server in those operating systems to a stub that makes queries via DoH, either running on the local machine or connected via VPN. (I'm making that sound very tech nerd, but actually doing it isn't inherently any harder than installing Firefox.) > Also, operating systems would have a much harder time doing that, especially if they don't all have integrated support for captive portal detection and similar. Wouldn't it be the same issue for Firefox? > We're moving towards a world where all traffic will look like HTTPS, or eventually like http/3. Sad but true. Though at least HTTP/3 looks to support UDP, at which point it becomes a lot more reasonable to encapsulate whatever inside it.
