Mozila Firefox brings DoH feature by defaul to US users

In the coming weeks, Mozilla will enable the DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) security feature by default for Firefox users in the United States. DNS over HTTPS is a protocol for performing remote Domain Name System resolution via the HTTPS protocol. Mozilla said this is the first browser to support the new standard by default and will be rolled out gradually in the coming weeks to address any unforeseen issues.

Mozilla claims that DoH can improve the privacy and security of online users, but the technology has been fiercely criticized by lawmakers and security experts who say it will prevent corporate system administrators and lawmakers from legally blocking dangerous web content. Experts also claim that the technology does not provide the perfect privacy protection that supporters claim. They warn that only certain parts of the DNS lookup process are encrypted, and Internet service providers will still be able to see the IP addresses to which their users are connected.
