Well I hadn't really thought too much about DoH until now but now I've gone and enabled it on a few machines.

While I don't love all the snark in the article I'm glad this was brought to my attention. Hopefully this raises enough awareness that it has the exact opposite effect of what the ISPA in the UK hoped for.

Exactly. If I was them I'd claim that was precisely the objective - any press is good press. Labeling them a villain temporarily did more for Mozilla/DoH than labeling them the ultimate good guy would have.

The snark is on par for the course for most articles from that site, which can be expected when publishing under the slogan 'Biting the hand that feeds IT'
