        Hi guys. Is this possible? Thanks.

        How can you trust that an app really won't send some company your location data, when you tell it not to? The only way you can trust a program not to do something it isn't supposed to do is if it is free software. ~ RMS

            Hi Flo. I was thinking along the lines of DNS over HTTPS (DoH) like can be done in Firefox. Can (DoH) be done in the Morph browser or even system wide in UT?

              Sorry to say, both is not available right now, though chances to get it done in the browser might be higher than systemwide. In Ubuntu 16.04 there is simply no standard way to have DNS lookup like this. Might be possible with 20.04 though

                @Flohack Thanks. I got the idea after watch a video from https://www.bitchute.com/channel/TheHatedOne. See the attached screengrab of that video.tho.png
                That was a demo of doing it on Android.
