Thanks TheFu, that link was helpful. I used the network.trr.excluded-domains setting to add exceptions for the sites I want to block, and everything else continues to use DNS over HTTP.

I have a custom hosts file that blocks some time-wasting websites. I use cron to switch it to /etc/hosts at certain times during the day, and then to set the hosts file back to normal during other...

Yes, they are coming from cron. My crontab doesn't have a MAILTO variable, but I assume I can just add one under the SHELL and PATH variables? If I add a MAILTO variable but leave it a blank...

This is kind of an embarrassing problem, because I should know how to fix it myself, but I don't.
