How about DNS over TOR?
as usual, LOVE the way you think :) How about just plain old DNSSEC? (instead of a nanny) - yay, IT Works! - and is so mature already...(without all the risks of having/using a nanny) and using connectivity providers (instead of third parties and dns over https) -- for caching/recursive, like Bell (Bell CA actually does not track/record/monetise their users DNS querries afaik) Problems all solved?
my further opinions are that any "nanny" type "free" service where someone else decides what and where i may or may not go or what i may or may not see, needs to be either well regulated/controlled/open/published/etc or simply not be accepted...
Sometimes nannies are good things.
yes, nannies are 'sometimes' good things, but for some people BAD nannies are sometimes even better :)
People without the wherewithal or interest in managing their own security likely are in need of a nanny.
again, dnssec already protects users, it just needs wider adoption, which is the issue.. .as for "shared" domains like outlook.com - abuse management costs will increase? - which is probably why dnssec has never caught on, it is not "sexy" (like some nannies...)
anyway, i am probably a minority as i also do not like/use/support very popular and world dominating services such as 'whatsapp' and i do not tweet or post photos of my food on insta and i have zero tiktok vids
I have a feeling your take is not a minority on this list.
ooh, warm & fuzzies to you too, I have a home *sigh* :)
