Jaromir Miko The Mozilla Foundation has announced the release of a new Firefox browser feature that will strengthen users' privacy while browsing the Internet. The browser will now protect users from tracking using the method DNS over HTTPS. Thanks to this, users will not only have encrypted communication with the visited server, but the DNS address of that website will also be encrypted.

Your service provider can track which pages you visit even with a secure connection, thanks to the recording of DNS addresses. It can then use the collected data to sell targeted advertising even though the user has not allowed tracking on the website that requested it. Although the DNS over HTTPS method does not guarantee 100% that the user will avoid targeted advertising, his privacy on the Internet will be noticeably strengthened.
Firefox will rely on the Cloudflare service by default, but users will also have alternative services available. The change will roll out over the coming weeks and months in the US, Europe and other parts of the world, with early adopters seeing it today. Mozilla also said that those who don't want to wait for the change to take effect automatically can force it in their browser settings.
