Secure DNS over HTTPS within Microsoft Edge Canary

[SearchLight]

For weeks, I have been trying to enable Secure DNS over HTTPS in Microsoft Edge Stable. Although, I found how to enable the feature via the experimental flags accessed through the address bar, whenever I went to Cloudfare's help site: 1.1.1.1 — the Internet’s Fastest, Privacy-First DNS Resolver , the response back was that it was not happening.

The current stable version of Edge has no Custom Settings for one's preferred DNS service, so I searched the web, and found that the customization feature is currently available in Microsoft Edge Canary. I downloaded Canary, and low and behold, I have Secure DNS over HTTPS using Cloudfare. I am using this as a backup browser but whenever I use it, I have encountered no hiccups just like Edge Stable.

Thus, if you are a Microsoft Edgeaphile, and looking for the feature now, you can find it in the Canary version.

I guess Microsoft doesn't stay as current with the latest features like Google Chrome, Firefox, and Opera do. I have these browsers as well, and Secure DNS over HTTPS is active, and working within them.

Microsoft work on different features to the rest. Features you will never find in Chrome or Firefox.

Here on my latest stable Edge, DoH by Cloudflare works properly after manually to enable this flag: "Secure DNS lookups"

I have the same stable version as you plus I have the Experimental Flag set but I get the following results:

Just for comparison, this is what enables Secure DNS over HTTPS in Canary which I do not see in the Stable version yet:

and this is the Canary version that I have that has the features.

Do you have ever tried to setup Cloudflare DNS on settings of Windows 10:

Yes, you can change the Windows 10 DNS settings for more private and reliable services, and in this guide, I'll show you how.

This could be the reason why my Edge (latest stable) works over DoH by Cloudflare

The difference is browser level (Edge Canary) or system level. Enable the "Secure DNS lookups" flag and make system changes as @silversurfer posts.

I set my Router to Cloudfare as well as Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, and Microsoft Canary.
