Slow WiFi and an exposed Google history are an avid internet user s worst nightmares, and the Obama-era rules that protect from these have been under attack since 2017. Hopes for change were all but squandered when a late 2020 vote affirmed the FCC s commitment to erasing net neutrality.
Discussions about the government s right to spy on your digital habits without a warrant don t exactly make anyone feel confident, either.
Whatever the reason, people are becoming more and more paranoid about the vulnerability of their internet usage (that, or they re just really tired of American Netflix). In turn, Google has become littered with VPN reviews and lists of the best VPNs according to experts, tech publishers, and regular consumers alike. But if you wanted a more raw opinion â thousands of them â from people with absolutely no filter, there s only one place to go:

Apple and Cloudflare partnered up to develop a new DNS protocol that better protects user privacy, called Oblivious DNS over HTTPS, or ODoH.
Tech columnist Jason Aten writes that this new standard will make it harder for internet service providers to collect data on user s browsing activity and potentially sell that data to advertisers.
Many providers don t use DNS data for advertising purposes or sell it to third parties, but it s something they re allowed to do without your permission, as Congress voted in 2017.
Besides better protecting users and what they do online, Aten argues that this new protocol also raises awareness around how our activity is tracked and monetized.
