| Not sure why it took so long for Mozilla to expose the setting on Android, it's been a 'secret' setting for a long time. In fact, sometimes they let features ride the rails for a little bit too long IMO. For Waterfox for Android I exposed the setting by default and also added an addition DNS over Oblivious HTTP setting (DoOH) which uses Fastly as the relay (they host and control it, for privacy sanitisation) and Cloudflare as the resolver. |

| It's been accessible via about:config, yes. But more importantly, there's a system wide DoH setting in Android (or at least in GrapheneOS). I don't see why it would preferable to only configure DoH in the browser. |

| ▲ | MrAlex94 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Not just `about:config`, which is limited to non-release builds, but via enabling “Secret Settings” when you enable debug mode: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/mobile/android/fenix... This allowed access from the standard settings page which you can see in this release, it’s the same setting just exposed instead of hidden. I think Nimbus experiments also might have exposed the setting. | |

| ▲ | martinald 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | In theory could be as low as single digit ms overhead, assuming fastly and cloudflares PoPs being used are very close to each other. In reality it seems higher than that but I'm sure a lot of optimisations can be done. | |
| ▲ | MrAlex94 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | While this was measured in a slightly different implementation via Oblivious DNS[1]: > The first thing that we can say with confidence is that the additional encryption is marginal. We know this because we randomly selected 10,000 domains from the Tranco million dataset and measured both encryption of the A record with a different public key, as well as its decryption. The additional cost between a proxied DoH query/response and its ODoH counterpart is consistently less than 1ms at the 99th percentile.
