Inside Firefox’s DNS-over-HTTPS engine

Nice job Daniel (again...)! While TRR only sounds very appealing for certain threat vectors the handling of captive portals is still a ‚nasty‘ thing. While certainly not in the realm of DNS over HTTPS the logic / UX on the browser side as well as interaction with the underlying OS definitely needs improvement.

Thanks! Captive portals are indeed truly complicated beasts to handle and they offer challenging obstacles for browsers (and others). We keep working on trying to improve how Firefox detects and works with them.
