This has been tested and debated for months. Initial support for Firefox rolled out 9 months ago or so: https://miketabor.com/enable-dns-over-https-and-encrypted-sn...

The conclusion of the debate was that it vastly improves the privacy for most users. Which is why it shipped in Firefox.

Take that into account when you read (misleading, factually wrong) push-back like the original article.

> The conclusion of the debate

Obviously debate is still on, as we see in here and in [0], and it looks like HN folks are not in favour of these integrations, including me. So question stands, how/why the debate was concluded, did all developers had a vote? Is there a link to discussion?

I have no idea why you think that random HN discussion afterwards (in response to an article filled with misinformation!) would have any bearing on how Firefox is developed.

There's been about 1.5 year of extended discussion and iteration over DoH, yes. I'm sorry but there certainly isn't just a "single" link!
