>The first claim is that Google is going to redirect user DNS traffic to Google's own DNS or another DoH-compliant DNS provider. That is incorrect. Because we believe in user choice and user control, we have no plans to force users to change their DNS provider. [...] We’re simply enabling support in Chrome for secure DoH connections if a user’s DNS provider of choice offers it.
Chrome will use the DoH frontend of the DNS server of the computer it's running on, respecting the user's choice. Instead, the Mozilla Corporation has decided that Firefox will route all DNS requests through CloudFlare regardless of user settings.

- ahbyb 7y agoI was talking about defaults. Of course you can also change them on Chrome too. But defaults matter because most people stick to them. And the default of Firefox will send navigation history to Cloudflare.
- zaarn 7y agoIIRC Cloudflare is currently not the default and there is no plans to turn on DoH per default if there is no way for Firefox to properly preselect the provider the user wants.
