can we not also understand this as testing the waters in terms of
changes of browser behaviour without user knowledge?

and once one's browser uses DoH, how will we be sure that not half of
queries (DoH) are going to another server - maybe even google's?

slippery slope?

would be done with s/DoH/DoT/
