This is the wrong dichotomy and it's a false one perpetuated by Mozilla.

Users can have end to end encrypted DNS and browsers shouldn't be hijacking it.

To put it another way, you don't want the people who only care about eyeballs (Google, Mozilla, etc.) picking your DNS provider.

So disable DoH in Firefox, or change the provider? If you know enough to choose a DoH provider, the browser defaults are not very relevant, presumably.

That's great for the handful of people that read Hacker News and understand DNS, it's a trash solution for the rest of the world. Defaults matter because they are rarely changed.

Right now the defaults are unencrypted DNS handled by ISPs which in the US have explicit legal permission to sell your data.
