In my network it can only do that if the app has a hardcoded encrypted DNS server because I use NAT rules to force all unencrypted DNS to be processed by my OPNsense (which uses NextDNS as upstream DNS servers). And I highly doubt many apps even have a hardcoded DNS server anyway (no matter if unencrypted or encrypted).
That's your personal use case but not everyone elses. I do much more with my phone. For example browsing. And I think most people do it too. Anyway, as long as you use mobile internet even your OS on your phone could spy on you with tracker domains. Most people don't use a custom ROM so you're just one of few people who this doesn't apply to.
Wrong. I use NextDNS so I have it everywhere. ;)
Well, you said "you" so I thought you were talking about me since you replied to my comment.
Right. I don't know about Telegram but in Firefoxes case I think it's disabled by default. I specifically checked that on my Firefox so it won't bypass my OPNsense.
You don't see it, do you? First you talk about your use case but then you talk about other people. So not your use case anymore. In their use case a Pi-hole, AdGuard Home, NextDNS or whatever else maybe makes sense and isn't a bad choice.
Erm... what?? Smartphones are designed for many different things. Browsing the internet is just one of many things it's made for. It's called "smartphone" for a reason.
