Thanks for the detailed info. That's impressive, especially as it's
not possible with HTTPS. Apparently, at least one of us is confused.
> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTPS
HTTPS is now used more often by web users than the original
non-secure HTTP, primarily to protect page authenticity on all
types of websites; secure accounts; and to keep user
communications, identity, and web browsing private.
Nowadays, many web browsers also offer DNS-over-HTTPS, which hides
even the DNS name of the site(s) being visted. See, for example:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-dns-over-https
Some individuals and organizations rely on DNS to block malware,
enable parental controls, or filter your browser's access to
websites. When enabled, DoH bypasses your local DNS resolver and
defeats these special policies.
