Now there's nothing stopping the PATRIOT Act allowing the FBI to slurp web-browsing histories without a warrant

HTTPS does not encrypt the SNI at this time, so a network snoop will still know where you are going.

Stop pushing DNS over HTTPS (a privacy nightmare as others have pointed out) and realize it is actually the worst designed of the options. Literally, DoH results in lower privacy than no encryption at all, because a third party that would never have seen who you are visiting now gets that information in a nice pat log. As I keep reminding people, your ISP knows where you go just from the network traffic -- if they care so much. With that and SNI, they don't need your DNS except for pushing ads.
