As we do so, DoH is enabled for users in “fallback” mode. We are currently working toward rolling out DoH in more countries. In 2019 we completed our rollout of DoH to all Firefox desktop users in the United States.

DoH could be slower than traditional DNS queries, but in testing, we found that the impact is minimal and in many cases DoH is faster.

To mitigate this risk, our partners are contractually bound to adhere to this policy. Mozilla has a strong Trusted Recursive Resolver (TRR) policy in place that forbids our partners from collecting personal identifying information.

When DoH is enabled, Firefox by default directs DoH queries to DNS servers that are operated by a trusted partner, which has the ability to see users' queries.

When enabling DoH by default for users, Firefox allows users (via settings) and organizations (via enterprise policies and a canary domain lookup) to disable DoH when it interferes with a preferred policy.

When enabled, DoH bypasses your local DNS resolver and defeats these special policies.

Some individuals and organizations rely on DNS to block malware, enable parental controls, or filter your browser’s access to websites.

DoH, when enabled, ensures that your ISP cannot collect and sell personal information related to your browsing behavior. This prevents third-parties from seeing what websites you are trying to access.ĭoH improves privacy by hiding domain name lookups from someone lurking on public WiFi, your ISP, or anyone else on your local network. It sends the domain name you typed to a DoH-compatible DNS server using an encrypted HTTPS connection instead of a plain text one. This connection is not encrypted, making it easy for third-parties to see what website you’re about to access.ĭNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) works differently. Traditionally, this request is sent to servers over a plain text connection. When you type a web address or domain name into your address bar (example: your browser sends a request over the Internet to look up the IP address for that website.
