"Privacy-focused" unless you need privacy from the EU itself. DNS services know every website your computer connects to before HTTPs comes on, so it's rather sensitive.

Depending how it's implemented it can still be privacy focused (not keeping logs, tracking usage...).

No idea if that's the case, but the two are not necessarily incompatible.

Non-cPIR databases tend to have that problem indeed, and from what I understand cPIR is not practical. So in the strictest sense, this issue will continue to remain and is not reasonable to expect otherwise.

But if someone here is more involved in private information retrieval tech and the likes & knows different, happy to learn more.

In the end, with DNS you have to trust someone, your ISP, the DoH host, or wherever you get the records for running your own resolver. It's not a "Do I want privacy yes or no?" but rather "Who do I trust enough to make these requests through?"

Personally, I'd trust an entity that is under GDPR more than one that is not.
