Use this test to check if your browser uses Secure DNS, DNSSEC, TLS 1.3, and Encrypted SNI - Only Firefox supports all four right now
Cloudflare's Browsing Experience Security Check online tool tests the capabilities of the web browser in regards to certain privacy and security related features.
For a subset of Internet users, privacy is of uttermost importance. While the majority seems indifferent, some try their best to implement protective mechanisms to eliminate or at least reduce what companies and maybe even State actors may find out about them when they use the Internet.
Whether that is successful or not depends on the program used to connect to Internet sites, e.g. a browser or media client, and also the system configuration.
The push to using HTTPS on the Internet ensured that much of the data that is transferred between a user's browser or program and Internet sites is encrypted. New technologies, such as Secure DNS or Cloudflare's own encrypted Server Name Indication (SNI) are designed to address leaks caused by DNS queries.
The only browser that supports all four of the features at the time is Firefox. Two of the features are still in development and testing though.
