DNS over HTTPS is not Google, nor AT&T, nor Microsoft.

It's a security standard and you can pick whatever secure DNS server you want to be on the other end of your connection.

If you want to be really paranoid, consider where some of the major VPN's are located (I forget which one, but one (more?) of the majors is based in Hong Kong.. Yeah I want **ALL** my traffic going to China).
