Chrome has DNS-over-HTTPS enabled by default. Firefox, however, enables that by default in certain regions only.
Cloudflare has a comprehensive guide on how to enable it in various browsers.
P.S. If you dun wanna use Cloudflare as the resolver, quad9 can be an (maybe better) option.
That seems as a weird decision by Firefox considering their relatively privacy focused image.
Not really as hiding dns alone doesn't give you a big increase in privacy. Your isp can see what sites you visit immediately after anyway.
It could be argued that sending all your dns requests to a 3rd party by default is actually a decrease in privacy.
Yeah hiding DNS queries is just one part of the equation. It has to be coupled with other techs/techniques to really achieve privacy.
