    Baked in safety, ready to go firefox is brilliant. Many users (younger me included) aren’t techy enough or confident enough to use Android systemwide blocking, RethinkDNS etc.

    Android has had the native ability to do DOH system-wide since like Android 8 or 9 or something like that, and I’ve been using it for several years now. I use a service called Control-D, which has free DOH servers that block advertising. P2.freedns.controld.com or something llike that. They offer p0 unfiltered, p1 malware block, p2 ad and malware block, and p3 ads malware and big social (spybook, instaspy, snapspy, etc) blocking.

        But I never found a phone were I can manually enter a full DoH address in the system settings. It only allows you to enter a hostname, and this will always use DoT. I am not sure if DoH is really usable systemwide.

      Android already supports DoH. It’s called Private DNS. I’ve been using it for system wide ad blocking for years.
