Why did Firefox choose to implement DNS over HTTPS (DoH) instead of DNS over TLS (DoT)? Doesn’t HTTPS add an extra layer for DNS queries?

Firefox is a browser and so (1) people at Mozilla are comfortable with HTTP and (2) there has been a lot of investment in making the HTTP stack good. You will also notice that the lead author of DNS over HTTPS [0] was a Mozilla employee.

Some ISPs block DNS except to their own resolvers.

I believe it's easier to hide in regular traffic.
