Very important to read the caveats. They can't stop some snooping and they can't stop black hole routing.

Is that different to any other public DNS provider?

No. I only say it because people often have heightened expectations of public interest services, and regrettably this is the one time I think it really matters to understand nobody can entirely hide your surface of visibility, despite the best of intentions.

I wish they would have used something like https://en.wikipedia.org/dns-query as the DoH endpoint instead of https://wikimedia-dns.org/dns-query, to make it way less feasible for networks to block wholesale.

For a company that has gone out of its way to repeatedly refuse to block straight up Nazi shit and a whole host of other scumbags stuff this is kind of wild but honestly tracks 100% with my perception of them based on observing Matthew Prince’s actions over many years.
