Google says it will add ‘DNS over HTTPS’ to Chrome’s upcoming Chrome 78. The privacy-focused protocol sends DNS queries over secure HTTPS connections to a DNS server rather than sending DNS queries in plaintext. Google has selected some DNS providers for “their strong stance on security and privacy” The test will run on all platforms for Chrome 78 users except Linux and iOS, with the goals to validate the company’s implementation and to evaluate the performance impact. Chrome users who want to manually opt-in or opt-out of the experiment can change the flag settings at Google’s website.
