DNS over http will eventually destroy DNS as we know it. Thanks Goog n co!

DNS at the moment over 53/UDP is manageable and malleable. DNS over http is not and is up to your browser and hence a vendor.

Life on the helpdesk will become rather more nasty and worse than it is now and we probably won't get tools to diagnose what is going on inside the browser, and so life for IT will be increasingly crap.

I suggest we don't let the FAANGS run the world or the browser.

DoH does not depend on a browser! Try this out with cURL

    curl --http2 -H 'accept: application/dns-json' "https://1.1.1.1/dns-query?name=cloudflare.com" --next --http2 -H 'accept: application/dns-json' "https://1.1.1.1/dns-query?name=example.com"

There are DoH resolvers[0] that you can use that act as a "middleman" between your browser (configured to use a standard DNS server) and DoH (which is more secure and private)
