DNS-over-HTTPS sounds like it'll be the least used by general public since most people I know are still using default DNS settings which would point towards their ISP's. I'm not sure how many ISPs have moved towards DNS-over-HTTPS or if they are even activated by default.
Firefox has DoT enabled by default, maybe Chrome does the same. That would cover the use-case of most people on public wifi.
Wait, it's set in the browser? I've always thought you set that at the OS level.
Both, the browsers (and any other application) can choose to ignore your DNS settings and use whatever other mechanisms they like.
Cool, didn't know that. I'll try and find the setting in the browser.
