How is that different than existing DNS servers?
- sp332 7y agoThere's no difference that a DNS server can see between a browser on your computer making a DNS request vs. any other app. But if the browser is using DoH and other apps don't, then it can tell.
- ryanisnan 7y agoRight, but that's just an argument for more applications and lower level networking stacks to support DoH.

- corford 7y agoNot really. It's an argument for the industry moving to something sensible; not "split braining" low level infrastructure by shoehorning some of it into HTTP, apps and a handful of centralised coporations who claim to play a little nicer than telcos.
- alwillis 7y agoHow is that different than existing DNS servers? Because standard DNS servers using mostly UDP can’t track you the way a DoH server can. The more centralized DoH becomes, the more tempting it’ll be to monetize that traffic.
