>DNS over HTTPS is going to cause a shitload more problems than it solves.

Oh, absolutely. What I wonder is if people don't notice this, or they do but believe Google is right in pushing fundamental internet design decisions that prioritize Google's incidental access to surveillance data over a high quality and resilient network for everyone.

I believe that they have created a double-edged razor blade. DoH can protect people that have malicious ISP's. It also hands over a lot more control to Google. I don't like either of those scenarios.

By control, what I mean is that once DoH usage to G servers hits critical mass, they can decide who can visit what. Not that they would, but they can. People generally do what people can do.
