gollark: As far as I can tell, basically every website supports HTTPS nowadays, but DNS over HTTPS is still rare partly because of governments and ISPs being annoying about it.
gollark: I mean generally. Look at DNS. They didn't even have DNS over HTTPS or DNSSEC until fairly recently, and they're still not widely used.
gollark: Yeeees, it's weird how people didn't seem to even consider security and privacy in lots of computer things until seemingly recently.
