    geek2point0  they pushed a new build of Edge, I'm now on Version 86.0.587.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit)

    In the production build ( 84.0.522.48) its at the same url edge://flags/#dns-over-https .

      I too just installed Version 86.0.587.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit), but that option is not present for me. I even uninstalled and reinstalled. This is a domain computer, but outside of the home page we don't really have any GPOs applied to browsers.

        geek2point0  I can see that inside an organisation you wouldn't want some users doing DNS lookups that couldn't be seen by admins. Many orgs run DNS internally, as demonstrated by the rather embarrassing bug last week, (https://www.wired.com/story/sigred-windows-dns-flas-wormable/).

        I don't know if this option is turned off by domain membership - perhaps a question for Microsoft? Elliot Kirk
