- DoH (DNS over HTTPS) is criticized for centralizing DNS queries to a single provider like Cloudflare, raising privacy concerns.
- Mozilla's collaboration with Cloudflare for DoH implementation in Firefox has sparked debates over data privacy and commercial use of DNS queries.
- Alternatives like DNS over TLS (RFC 7858) offer transport encryption without the complexity and potential security flaws of DoH.
- The article advises disabling DoH in Firefox by setting 'network.trr.mode' to 5 to prevent its use under any circumstances.
- Critics argue that DoH's complexity and reliance on HTTP as a transport protocol introduce unnecessary security risks.
