"Firefox defaults to Cloudflare, though you can change this."
So it's whichever company you choose for DNS, rather than the company chosen by your ISP. Many of us were already choosing not to use the ISP's DNS, for reliability, but with this feature the ISP can't eavesdrop on that.
- pbhjpbhj 7y agoMost of us chose a company already, our ISP (or in my case a mixture of first + third party). Firefox are defaulting to their choice, no? Presumably they give an option page on which to choose it - even they wouldn't be so egregious as to hide such a massive change without positive user consent, surely?
- jlarocco 7y agoWell, honestly, I don't use my ISP's DNS, either, but that just highlights another way this is annoying: Firefox is overriding my decision with their own. And like I said, I trust my ISP more than I trust Firefox and CloudFlare, so their spying on my DNS (if they even are) is less of a concern to me than CloudFlare or Firefox spying on the requests.
