 "By default, Firefox ships with support for relaying encrypted DoH
 requests via Cloudflare's DoH resolver, but users can change it to any DoH
 resolver they want"

 Mozilla is obviously working more and more in direction to integrate
 everything with big tech surveillance companies. Perhaps it is high time
 to reconsider Tor Browser being based on some other browser rather than
 being a patch-work of some anti-privacy software like Firefox. Perhaps a
 good start may be ungoogled-chromium (which makes zero background
 connections to anything by default).
