I don't see why that would happen once OS-level support is deployed?
After all, glibc already did the hard work, why do it again?
(Oh and Applications with Ads were already able to do this, no need for firefox to do anything at all, it's just too complicated to be worth it)
- xg15 7y agoWell, it has happened like this with TLS certificate validation. In theory, apps can use the system cert stores and you as a user can install custom root CAs if you want to find out what an app is actually sending. In practice, many apps have pinned certificates embedded to prevent that. > it's just too complicated to be worth it That's the point. It's complicated and costly today if you have to design your own protocol, run your own DNS proxy and be the target of outrage if someone finds out. It won't be if DoH normalizes application-specific DNS servers and provides an ecosystem with infrastructure and tooling for it.
