Agreed. I use a local (to my network) DNS server which connects upstream to a main DNS server using DNS over TLS (same security as DNS over HTTPS, just using the standard DNS protocol) and DNSSEC.

That then covers all services and all devices on the network.

It makes trouble shooting much easier. If the browser stops working, you can use other tools to check the network connection and they respond in the same way.

I also have around 2.5 million tracking, malvertising and malware websites blocked by my DNS server. I don't want the browser ignoring that.
