Firefox has DNS over HTTPS. This feature was added so that anyone snooping on your DNS traffic doesn't get a list of web sites you visit. It doesn't make much difference if your going to a non-secure http site as all the traffic to and from that site is unencrypted but more and more sites are https now.

But this means Firefox (or there "trusted partners" who actually run the DNS over https system) gets to see all the sites you visit instead. Anyone have an opinion about that tradeoff?
