They say it will be enabled only for providers supporting this. Do they mean DNS servers supporting DoH?

If a network DHCP server publishes a local DNS server that is not on the list, DNS traffic will not bt encrypted?

So a network operator wishing to continue spying on its users just needs a local DNS proxy?

No, they say providers, and mean providers. They are starting their experiment with a whitelist:

* https://www.chromium.org/developers/dns-over-https

If you're already using one of those then Chrome/ium will change from "plain DNS" over to DoH. If you are not using one of them already, then nothing will change.
