Mozilla's Firefox privacy protection policy will soon include one of the most fundamental tasks for any web browser: protecting the domain name search requests of the websites you want to access. Developers will roll out the DNS over HTTPS feature by default in the U.S. by the end of September, allowing to block many web browsers without clear requests as before. Your searches will become more private and secure, less vulnerable to DNS hijacking and monitoring.

Not all requests will utilize HTTPS. Mozilla relies on fallback methods to restore default DNS in your operating system when necessary or when lookup fails. According to Mozilla, this will help respect user and IT administrator choices if they need to disable this feature. However, the research team is also monitoring potential abuse behaviors and will reconsider their approach if bad actors use malicious domains to disable the technology.
It takes time for DNS over HTTPS to be widely adopted. Mozilla will continue to research related issues before expanding this feature. If everything goes smoothly, the Firefox browser will become a perfect choice for those who want to secure their web traffic.
