False dichotomy. Not only am I pretty sure Sonic isn't selling my DNS queries, I've already opted out of DNS over HTTPS. Refusing to respect the choices I've made is worse than not.
Besides, unencrypted SNI means that if my ISP wanted to get the hosts I was looking at, they could.
- ZiiS 3y agoUnencrypted SNI is fairly rare now.
- brazzledazzle 3y agoYeah. I noticed even server-side software is using it less too. Kind of annoying if you use SNI inspection as part of your egress security.
- inferiorhuman 3y agoIs it? The best I could find was a bit from 2021 that showed 92 of the Alexa Top 1000 site supporting ESNI. If adoption has skyrocketed since then that's great… meanwhile Firefox is showing HN negotiated a TLS 1.2 connection with no ESNI support.
- Bagged2347 3y agoCan you elaborate on why you'd want to opt-out of DNS over HTTPS? I was under the impression that it was useful and good for privacy, but I may be misinformed.
- Eisenstein 3y agoIt breaks DNS based blocking if you have it setup. Some people setup ad-blocking so that it encompasses their entire network and the way this works is that it silently drops DNS requests to ad domains on the edge of your local network.
- rovr138 3y agoI have a local DNS server to access servers and other resources on my network. DNS over HTTPS breaks this.
- inferiorhuman 3y agoIt doesn't actually break this but it does leak all of your local DNS queries to Cloudflare.
