ECH status: enabled in Chrome but not in Librewolf? (lemmy.world)

I thought Mozilla was the one behind ECH. How is it enabled in Chrome, Edge, and Opera and not in Librewolf, let alone Firefox?

Is this a false negative from https://privacytests.org?

What is ECH?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

IIRC, Mozilla doesn't ship Firefox with DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) enabled by default in most countries -- and I think it only does Encrypted Client Hello (ECH) if DoH is enabled.

From LibreWolf's website:

By default DoH is not enabled in LibreWolf.

I assume that also disables ECH by default.
