"More concretely, the experiment in Chrome 78 will **check if the user’s current DNS provider** is among a list of DoH-compatible providers, and upgrade to the equivalent DoH service **from the same provider**. If the DNS provider isn’t in the list, Chrome will **continue to operate as it does today.**"
I suppose this is the point somebody has to put the words "nostrils", "tent", and "camel" in the same sentence? I'd not say it, except.. All the articles on how to disable this in Chrome say stuff like: If users don't want to be included in the Chrome DoH experiment, they can use a DNS provider that's not on Google's list (which most of the Chrome userbase already does), or they can disable DoH support by modifying the chrome://flags/#dns-over-https flag. However, the Linux build of "Version 79.0.3921.0 (Official Build) unknown (64-bit)" does not have that flag in chrome://flags (or at least Chrome can't find ot with control-F dns-over and the in-page search box returns 1 result for 'dns' Anonymize local IPs exposed by WebRTC. Conceal local IP addresses with mDNS hostnames. Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS #enable-webrtc-hide-local-ips-with-mdns There are still 3 occurrences of the string 'dns-over-http' in the binary, but none of them seem to be wired up to the chrome://flags page. It may be a bug - I was unable to find mention of it, but I may not have had the right keywords to scare up a search hit. If it *is* a bug, I'd appreciate if somebody pointed me at the support page for it....
