DNSSEC is not encrypted, so it leaks everything -- even data that normal
DNS doesn't.

The best way currently is to use DNSCrypt, which encrypts DNS queries
and responses.  It's originally from OpenDNS, although there are other
providers that support DNSCrypt also.  With DNSCrypt, only the provider
sees your queries, instead of the provider + anyone listening in.

Note this is only the DNS angle to your question.  (Katya mentions HTTPS
SNI).
