Why not install DoH system wide, then (the kind of change which is easy if tools like Firefox use the system APIs for this and very difficult if individual applications all reimplement DNS) instead of only doing it for Firefox?
- codedokode 7y agoBecause it is easier to embed it into a browser rather than persuade vendors of all major OSes (Windows, Mac, Android and thousand of Linux distributions) to add it. Also, even if a company like Microsoft adds it to Windows, they will add it only to they latest version and leave people on Windows XP, 7 and 8 without protection. Same with Google - they will add it only to the latest Android. Because commercial companies want you to buy new products, not to use the old one for a long time.
