The hacker news hysteria over DoH is quite absurd and disappointing. Seeing comments massively exaggerate to downright lie about the situation because they are angry their pihole setup no longer works.
Imo Firefox is representing the users best interests here. The router, and ISP dns servers can not be trusted. The user wants their browsing session to be as private as possible. Cutting out one more source of data leakage is what the user wants.
DoH gives us two things as end users in our homes:
* Privacy from the router and ISP, which is good, and the reason you should use it on your personal computing devices (PC, laptop, phone, RPi, whatever)
* The inability to inspect/redirect/selectively block traffic from anti-user devices we own (Samsung spyware TVs/Chromecasts/Smart ovens/Smart vacuums)
That being said, while I generally trust Cloudflare, it's not the optimal provider for me, and I don't like a random american company being hoisted on me.
Go ahead and give us evidence about how Cloudflare can be trusted. At least we have legally binding contracts with our ISPs.
Also, are you trying to suggest that people who know enough to run Piholes don't know enough to run their own DNS servers (or at least select good ones) and their own routers? That's pretty rich.

If your upstream network is trying to censor or surveil you, you can't run your own DNS server, because it will intercept your queries to the root servers.
