A new feature that is hitting all new modern web browsers is the ability to turn on DNS over HTTPS, which in my opinion is a very good idea - to keep the ISP snoopers off your traffic - so they have no idea where you are looking up or searching for. Not all Browsers have this facility at the moment - but I will cover those that do.
This by association is a recommendation for those that do.
Mozilla Firefox:
To turn this feature on in Firefox go to
Preferences/Network/Settings and the just select the DNS over HTTPS as shown below.
Google Chrome Chromium:
To turn this feature on in Chrome or Chromium, open a new tab and type
chrome://flags and in the search bar type dns and enter. The following will appear and just select enable for DNS over HTTPS
Opera:
As this browser is based on Chromium you have to type
opera://flags and then follow the above.
Microsoft Edge:
Again, this browser is based on Chromium, only this time just type
edge://flags and then follow the above.
Apple Safari and Microsoft Internet Explorer:
I'm afraid at the time of writing the above two don't support it. Safari may well in the future, but I very much doubt Internet Explorer ever will.
