Firefox: 'no UK plans' to make encrypted browser tool its default

Critics say DoH privacy technology could enable easier spread of child abuse images

The maker of the Firefox web browser has told the government it has no plans to turn a controversial web privacy tool on by default in the UK, despite launching it in the US later in September.

Mozilla has announced it will make the tool, called DNS-over-HTTPS, or DoH, the default for all users in the US.
