If you’re freaked out that your browser turned something called “DNS over HTTPS” on, you’re being bamboozled. DoH is a good thing.

You say “DNS over HTTPS” rather than “all your web browsing history will be sent to Cloudflare”. These are separate things, and Mozilla is doing both for all US users. Cloudflare has a history of sharing personal data with hate groups.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.propublica.org/article/how-cloudflare-helps-serve-up-hate-on-the-web/amp …

Replying to @wise_steve @tqbf
Cloudflare are problematic. There's no reason to think they're not law-abiding though, and Mozilla have negotiated an enforceable policy. IIUC, there are plans to add more providers to the pool in future, but right now this is *still* a more sensible default than "Trust DHCP".

Assuming that Cloudflare are in fact forbidden from turning this data into money (or even collecting it?), what do they gain from running this DoH service? What's the business model here?

Project Zero doesn't make any money either, I imagine it's the same reason, making the internet safer and more trustworthy is good business.

Please forgive me if I don't believe in Google's altruism any more... Project Zero helps advance Google's other interests which in turn bring money. I just don't see what Cloudflare interests are going to be helped by DoH.

I just told you, making the internet safer and more trustworthy makes it a better place to do business. If that helps get funding for important infrastructure like DoH, what's wrong with that?
