Today I was reading a ZDNet.com article The Firefox I loved is gone - how to protect your privacy on it now about a recent update to Firefox that removed wording about personal data in the Mozilla privacy policy.

For decades, one of Firefox's biggest selling points was that it gave you more privacy than Chrome or Edge. Under this new policy, though, Mozilla claimed: "When you upload or input information through Firefox, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that information to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox."

That's gone over like a lead brick. People believe that Mozilla has granted itself a royalty-free right to anything you type in Firefox. Your data could then be used for advertisers or to train an AI Large Language Model (LLM).

In the bottom of the article is the section "So, what can you do in response?" and one answer is to "Lock down your internet with DNS-over-HTTPS." This isn't something I've considered doing before, so I'm looking around for more information about it. And that brought me to discussion of other browsers that I've never tried.

Other articles I've looked at include Here's how to enable DoH in each browser, ISPs be damned
DoH support is already present in all major browsers. Users just have to enable it and configure it.

The best secure browsers for privacy: Expert tested
If you are looking for a secure browser, you must focus on privacy. The best options include ad blockers, private searches, and more.

These browsers include Brave, DuckDuckGo, Tor, Mullvad, and Firefox is on the list. Some of these browsers strike me as very intense, more work than one who does general homeowner kinds of stuff needs.

Thoughts? And is there a benefit to setting up DoH in each browser? What are the downsides? Have you tried any of those other browsers?
