The average internet user probably has no idea what DNS or HTTPS are, let alone DoH (which even I as a technical user had forgotten existed before I read this post). Defaults matter a whole lot. I haven't formed a definitive opinion on DoH but either way saying "you can configure it so it doesn't matter" is not reasonable in my opinion.
- avmich 7y agoIt's interesting that when Russia started blocking access to some popular websites a few years ago, the instructions for installation of VPN were found in all places. The case - then, for example, attempts to block Telegram servers lead to unexpected unblocking some forbidden sites, like kasparov.ru - shows how some networking skills can be grown en masse in a short period of time. So, yes, average Internet user isn't very familiar with DNS. Maybe privacy wars will lead to growing awareness in this area though.
