      For many many years I used Firefox as my browser, then things changed I could not access sites that I had for years, i've tried every other browser with the same results. I found Opera and was relieved to find a browser that just let me do what I want to do, until lately. Now it seems to be checking on the site to see if I'm allowed to see it, I get messages about dns settings (Use DNS-over-HTTPS instead of the system’s DNS setting) I do not know what all this stuff is about, I'm old and obviously not up to this tech stuff although until now I thought I was. A bit ago I could not access my mail provider because of some DNS issue. How do I set this browser up so that when I enter a URL or a link to an URL, it takes me to where I want to go. I really don't want to see the letters DNS again, I do not want to be censored by a machine or computer program, If i go somewhere that causes me harm, that's on me and I accept responsibility, but please stop checking to see if I am allowed to go where I want to go. Again how can I set this program up that will allow me to go/search where I want to go/search. Thank you.

        @cwm125 DNS is how a browser determines where a website is. As long as it works properly you should never hear about it.
