Security News > 2020 > February > Firefox Enables DNS over HTTPS

In theory DNS over HTTPS does not hide the "Fact" of the request transmission, "When" or "Length" of the request from a "Third party" evesdropper only the request "Contents".

That is whilst DNS over HTTPS might hide the request contents it does not hide the request or the time it happened at, nore does it hide the traffic to the site the DNS request was for.

Thus if you use DNS over HTTPS you know fairly well that you are handing over yet more "Private" information to the "Evil" "Data aggregators" that they did not get in the past.

Due to who gives money to the application software developers you start quickly to realize that DNS over HTTPS is a "Con game" by certain of the "Evil" "Data aggregators".

We realy should be pushing for such a protocol not DNS over HTTPS. The "Evil" "Data aggregators" by pushing the application developer to put DNS over HTTPS in the application where it most certainly does not belong, preempts and thus prevents a better protocol that makes client requests to the second party server anonymous.
