 Say (an encrypted) hello to a more private internet. - https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/encrypted-hello/ "ECH uses a public key fetched over the Domain Name System (DNS) to encrypt the first message between a browser and a website, protecting the name of the visited website "

 @a0b872c9 This sounds really good. But then I went to the page about configuring it, and it shows Cloudflare as an example of a secure DNS provider.
I am not sure if I trust Cloudflare at all. 
It looks like this is one of the things that is really awesome if you spend a bunch of time and effort setting it up correctly, but it can be dangerous when just set to "auto".

 @a0b872c9 I just enabled DNS over HTTPS and thought I was covered. 

I don’t fully understand what ECH brings to the table, but I welcome it.
