It’s used because browsers operate at the HTTPS layer by default, so DNS-over-TLS doesn’t make sense (as things stand now) for a browser to implement. > Umm, browsers need to handle TLS in order to support HTTPS. I don’t know where this idea popped up that browsers only know about HTTPS and don’t care for or don’t handle TLS. The author didn't refer to TLS, they referred to HTTPS which is HTTP+(TLS|SSL). The TLS part is common to both DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS. Browsers speak HTTP natively, but they don't speak the DNS protocol. That's the argument the author of the article is making.
