    It's great that Mozilla is trying to enhance privacy and security. However, DNS-over-HTTPS also skirts local network policies that might be in place for very good reasons. This is going to Majorly Break Things for people on corporate or DIY home networks.

    That first install was particularly painful, too... I had to download 34 floppy images over dialup, copy them over one at a time to reused AOL disks, find out 1/4 of them were bad, copy again, find out some of *those* were bad too, etc, etc.
