In addition, for situations where users don’t want to change their Android device’s system-wide DNS server to one that supports DoH, Google also lets users customize Chrome’s DoH server just for their browser alone.
Chrome users can do this by using the “Choose another provider“. Some individuals and organizations rely on DNS to block malware, enable parental controls, or filter your browser’s access to websites. When enabled, DoH bypasses your local DNS resolver and defeats these special policies. Sometimes the secure DNS may be slower in response In that case, you can follow the same steps above and disable secure DNS.
