Rolling in DoH: Chrome 78 to experiment with DNS-over-HTTPS – hot on the heels of Firefox

Re: Just How Trustworthy is Cloudflare

Unless things have changed, Cloudflare is just the default to begin with.

Mozilla's intention (IIRC) is to have regional defaults (i.e. if you're in the US, you might get Cloudflare, if you're somewhere else, someone else will be the default).

There's a long list of rules that you have to show you abide by in order to be included in the pool of defaults, including:

- clear statements on how you'll address privacy

- not filtering/tampering with results.

- Using QNAME Minimisation

- No ECS unless the upstream connection is encrypted

So, to answer your question:

- Yes Cloudflare have a statement on this (dedicated to this)

- Any other provider Firefox chooses would have to abide by the same rules

Which still skips over the following

- You can configure your own

- You're complaining about the privacy of Firefox in a thread about Google Chrome
