… It’s a protocol, not a service. And your browser has it enabled. You can disable it on your browser and default back to esni, and be less private and less anonimized, if you want. No one’s making you use it.
I think, OP is pointing to the fact that ECH makes it harder to block connections to mothership from proprietary apps, TVs etc. These apps could now use ECH, DoH to hide it’s traffic from being observed.
But OP could always buy a better router that can proxy layer 7 traffic and block the traffic if desired.
Anonymity from whom? The browser is the least trusted software and all websites have stalkerware from google and others embedded. These are what I want to block.
No, I don’t want google fonts, or a Facebook logo. I’m not pinging their servers to let them know I’m on your website, etc., etc. Eliminating my ability to stop these useless connections by aggregating all of my connections through ECH is not private or anonymous. Enabling this connection through ECH now makes it available to all websites as a gaping hole in a firewall. I don’t see any reason this should exist.
effectiveness of ublockorigin, noscript, or other privacy/security related addons in your browser are unaffected by ech.
a pihole on your network is likewise unaffected, as it alters the dns requests so clients like your browser or tv can’t even resolve a ‘bad’ domain to an ip.
