Thanks  to zlg  [0] for  the  note on  disabling DNS-over-https.   I
routinely use  ssh-tunneled socks  proxies to route  my DNS  and web
traffic through,  so for me DoH  is pointless. Even if  it wasn't, I
would  never   rely  on   DoH  through   a  central   provider  like
Cloudflare. I do use Firefox though  - even with its issues, I think
it is  still the most configurable  browser when it comes  to my own
use-cases and privacy in general. But yes, I agree the web is a mess
and it's frustrating how essential it all is to modern life.

My own workarounds include separate  Firefox profiles - for work and
personal,  the   personal  one  is  further   segregated  using  tab
containers. So, for example, online banking is isolated into one tab
container  and doesn't  mix with  the container  used for  my posteo
webmail or  the one dedicated to  online shopping. It seems  to work
well once you get it setup.
