By John P. Mello Jr. Feb 26, 2020 4:00 AM PT Firefox users in the United States are getting an extra measure of privacy protection starting this week, the Mozilla Foundation announced Tuesday. Firefox Desktop Product Development Vice President Selena Deckelmann heralded the rollout of encrypted DNS over HTTPS (DoH) by default in Mozilla’s browser. The DNS, or Domain Name System, is one of the oldest parts of the Internet. It’s how “human-friendly” names are converted to the IP addresses needed to reach a website. Because of the way the Internet was designed decades ago, browsers doing lookups for websites have done so without encryption. Without encryption, devices can collect DNS queries, or even block or change them. What’s more, the lookups can be sent to servers that will use them to spy on Internet activity. “At the creation of the Internet, these kinds of threats to people’s privacy and security were known, but not being exploited yet,” Deckelmann noted. “Today, we know
