For 99% of the people out there, it is.
Can Mozilla stop interfering with my network and get back to doing useful things with Firefox now?
- userbinator 7y agoNo kidding. Bypassing all the ad/malware domains in my HOSTS file, which practically all other applications on the system respect, feels disturbingly shady. Where's my privacy now!?!? If Mozilla wants to, they are more than welcome to work on encrypted DNS or VPNs or whatever else, but those should be at the OS level. Disrepecting configured OS settings borders on actively malicious behaviour.
- MauranKilom 7y agoHow exactly do you expect Mozilla to "work on encrypted DNS at the OS level"? How does Mozilla make Microsoft/Apple/Google implement it?
- userbinator 7y agoHow do you think people write VPN clients? Encrypted DNS is very much within that category of software. How does Mozilla make Microsoft/Apple/Google implement it? It doesn't need to, the same way it doesn't need to (nor should it) make Microsoft/Apple/Google ship Firefox as the default browser.
- bzbarsky 7y ago> For 99% of the people out there, it is. 99% of the people out there never connect to wifi in coffeeshops? I'm not even sure you hit the 99% mark if you measure by time spent connected, though I would love to see some data. (Disclaimer: I work for Mozilla, but have not really been involved with DoH.)
