If DNS over HTTPS is a good idea is a debatable question. It certainly is
better for individuals who were dependent on their ISP or country to provide
DNS services. But the DNS service was designed as the first widely distributed
robust database system, with improvements in security and reliably over the
years. For example, not only are root domain servers distributed among
providers, but they have different server programs, to prevent a complete
failure. When you use DNS over HTTPS you are depending on a single source for
telling you how to get to all hosts on the network, only slightly less of an
intrusion then proxy servers are. But then, most consumers are using a DNS
server provided with their ISP and would have the same trust issues, and I
would trust the DNS over HTTPS providers more than Verizon, A.T&T. or cable
providers to keep advertising off your system.
