Thank you Google, Mozilla and Cloudflare: Your latest patch makes it easier to unlock Jesus's final raptor form! Now if you'll excuse me, I have numerous bottles of Tory tears to drink.

I decided to go ahead and enable the system in Firefox. It's still experimental but super easy to use: Just go to the about:config page and change the following two settings to those values:
network.trr.mode 2
network.security.esni.enabled true
The first page should now confirm that you're using Cloudflare as a DNS provider. You can also go to the second page and test your browser, which should give you a green marker on all 4 verifications.

So far I can't see any difference, but everything is working well. In fact I might be getting an ever so slightly faster response from some websites when they load! The fun part is that it's secure, and neither your ISP or any other intermediary can know the server you're talking with except for its IP address; In Britain this also means the Tories are in trouble with God :)
