        How are you changing your dns? In your router or in your system?

          In my browser. If I setup Google public dns or cloudfare in Opera GX as DNS it works perfectly fine. The only downside is that I can’t access fritz.box anymore, I have to use the IP of my router to be able to access it, I just bookmarked it though.

          In Firefox the dns settings dont work at all. If I disable dns I get the censoring screen, if I enable any of the dns settings Firefox always says it can’t reach the DNS service.

            I have never set my DNS in my browser. Always in the system or in the router. So I don’t think I can help you.

              Thanks for your effort. I will just keep using opera gx, not the best browser in terms of privacy but at least it works out of the box

                Why don’t you just set your DNS system-wide and set your browsers’ to “system DNS”, though? This shouldn’t be a browser issue

                  Or, better yet: Define your DNS network-wide on your router (if it does support that, and if not, get a decent router) and let all your devices and browsers use those (that should happen automatically, no need to set that specifically)

                  system wide changes tend to create system wide problems. Never touch a running system.

                    Never touch a running system.

                    What does this even mean? You have to touch it to make changes, upgrade, improve, etc.

                    That’s not what “never touch a running system” is meant for. It creates a lot more problems (as you experienced yourself) to dabble with DNS on an application-level
