Re:Turn off DoH, Firefox by tialaramex on Thursday September 12, 2019 @03:28AM (#20948913)
The IETF QUIC isn't finished. Periodically the Working Group thinks it has stopped fiddling with the low-level bit layout and is ready to focus on polish, then somebody finds a show stopper that means revisiting the low-level bits. Maybe 2020? They missed all their advisory target dates (July 2019) for actually writing documents, and that isn't the end by any means for a protocol like this.

So Firefox could at most support either Google QUIC (internal prototype, now obsolete, who cares?) or a random draft that may end up not resembling the final product. If they haven't decided to do either it doesn't seem like a big deal.

Ah yes you're right. Also Mozilla (M. Thomson, Ed) is on the author list there so I expect they will support it when it is finalized.

Hopefully then they also support DNS over QUIC, I expect they probably will once QUIC is finalized. I think DoH is just a stop-gap measure to be honest.
