With DNS-over-HTTPS, your DNS queries are sent to Cloudflare (by default; it is configurable). Without it, your DNS queries are sent to your ISP. The question is which company you trust more with your DNS queries.
Given how often ISPs and/or countries do stupid things with DNS, I think DNS-over-HTTPS is a reasonable default. But some people don't trust Cloudflare with that info, so they use the ISP option instead.
Both are reasonable choices.
- MadameMinty 2mo agoWith DNS-over-HTTPS, that is only for Firefox. Chrome doesn't do that.

Looks like they try to choose a D-o-H provider that is associated with your plain DNS provider, instead of just jumping straight to Cloudflare.
- MadameMinty 2mo agoYup, iirc Mozilla made a deal with Cloudflare to... not do that.
