So it depends on the country. In my country (Russia) all Internet traffic is being recorded by the ISP for the last month and sites are blocked on political reasons. For me having DoH with Cloudflare is better.

Ditto in Australia

The reason why browsers are moving to features like DoH and eSNI as defaults is because it's every type of nation that is now instituting pervasive surveillance against its citizens

You also can't trust laws since ISPs can be hacked or infiltrated from the inside

In terms of personal protection encryption trumps law
