How is this different from offering a default search engine provided by a "trusted partner"?
- raptor99 5y agoExactly, and how is it different from offering a default installed browser in an OS by a "trusted partner"?
- johnklos 5y agoSimple: when you use the default search in a browser, you immediately see who is providing search results. If you have a problem with Google, for instance, you see that it's Google and you go and change it. Mozilla decided to turn on DoH by default, without asking, without prompting, without any indication whatsoever. Even if you configure a canary domain, that doesn't disable the DoH preference - it just temporarily turns it off. Organizations making unilateral decisions about sharing my private information with an untrusted, for-profit company that has a history of abuse and social irresponsibility is a very bad thing, not a good one.
