Worth noting that this doesn't actually affect the behaviour of a single user at this point in time.
> Thanks, Matt, that's great to see. Note that that's the effect of the change in comment 37, which only affects Android. The desktop change is blocked on a planned experiment in M88. A wide rollout probably won't happen until late February or early March, at which point we expect an additional reduction in root traffic. [0]
They were doing the DNS interception check on Android, but a different path of code was actually doing the checks (in a different way). Android was basically sending out useless requests.
