Google said today that Chrome for Android will soon support the DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH), a protocol that encrypts and secures DNS queries to enhance user privacy.
DoH support is already available in desktop versions of Chrome browser from May, and Chrome 83 release. However, the possibility never existed in its versions chrome android and iOS.
In a short post Google announced that it has now decided to enable the feature for users the Androids. So we'll see DoH enabled on programs mobile Chrome browser in the coming weeks.
All users who will update Chrome for Android on version 85, they will see a new option in their browser settings, titled “Secure DNS”.
The Secure DNS option will be disabled by default, but if enabled, Chrome will start performing DNS queries on the DoH encrypted form.
Google Reported that the feature works identically to versions of Chrome for desktops, which means users do not need to have OS-level DNS settings.
