I think the status of the security of the DNS requests that went into fetching a page should be listed in the site information panel.

Our solution to protect the privacy of DNS requests, DNS over HTTPS (DoH), when enabled in Network Settings, has no visible way for the user to know if it's doing anything, other than about:networking->DNS TRR column.

Especially since we are looking at ways to conditionally enable DoH on a per-site basis to avoid some issues, having visibility into whether a given site caused an insecure DNS request on the network would be very valuable for users.

  1. Are we showing it's DNS encrypted once the top-level document is resolved by DoH? What if some sub-resources are not?
  2. Cached resource are flagged as non-DoH, do we want to point this state out?

Wayne, could you help find someone to work on the UX please?
