I believe that's incorrect. It's true that Mozilla is considering making future versions of Firefox use Cloudflare DNS by default, and that they've conducted a shield study to collect performance data on Cloudflare's DNS service from users of Firefox Nightly builds who have volunteered to participate in studies. > Cloudflare looks like a pretty big privacy issue, supporting their DNS > is almost the same as supporting Cloudflare. > > My question is "Does GNU Icecat use Cloudflare DNS by default Certainly not. Search for "network.trr" in "about:config" to see the relevant preferences, which are briefly described near the end of this page: https://blog.nightly.mozilla.org/2018/06/01/improving-dns-privacy-in-firefox/ > and if this is not the case, which DNS provider does GNU Icecat use?". With the default settings, it uses whatever DNS server is configured in your OS. Regards, Mark -- http://gnuzilla.gnu.org
