The browser should respect the OS. The OS should respect the network (dhcp/slacc). If you want to override this then that should be an active choice by the user. I am quite happy with my OS using normal dns (via WireGuard when out) to my dns server which blocks bad domains before they even reach my firewall, I don’t need DoH, although I have no problem with that as a concept. What I don’t like is my browser taking away my choice and breaking the model. It should defer to the OS (and I can’t see any time I wouldn’t want it to defer to the OS)

DoH is necessary because ISPs snoop on DNS traffic and meddle with it. DNS is sendig everything in clear text and has no protection from modification.

As for DoH, you can choose not to use it, or use your own DoH server. I see no problems with it.
