If I understand it right, the current rollout is US only.
I know some folks outside the US trust their ISP more than a US company. Right now it appears the rollout isn't hitting you unless you opt in. Mozilla recently clarified this to politicians in Britain [1]
US ISPs are all subject to NSL and the US gov the same way Cloudflare is.
What's different is privacy. When I'm at a coffee shop or some other place my DNS traffic is normally unencrypted. ISPs have gotten a reputation for doing shady monitoring. This doesn't stop all of it but removes a method to watch things.
For US folks the question becomes, do you trust Cloudflare under a special agreement negotiated with Mozilla with a goal of protecting privacy or do you trust your ISP and the ISPs of all the places you connect?
For folks outside the US I'd wonder if or when this would come to me.
If I'm incorrect on something please let me know. I'm just now learning about the reach and implications.
