On Mozillas website we can (as of writing) read the following: Mozilla puts people over profit in everything we say, build and do.
However, with Mozilla’s decision to make Cloudflare the default DNS provider for DNS over HTTPS, they are definitely not supporting user privacy or putting people over profit. DNS over HTTPS is by itself bad enough, and highly criticized with good reason, but by combining it with a company like Cloudflare makes it even worse. Cloudflare has made an agreement with Mozilla that when it acts as a DNS resolver for Firefox. This means that even if Cloudflare could be trusted and they have the best of intentions, they will still log everything the first 24 hours. If Cloudflare is ever compromised, all these logs could be copied and distributed over a period of time. Last, but not least, Cloudflare is an American company subject to American law, a law that pretty much undermines the foundation of any kind of privacy. Security and privacy means no data retention and no logging. Period!
