Should we change Mullvad Browser's DoH server settings?

Not sure either tbh. It says “If you are not connected to Mullvad VPN then the Mullvad extension will recommend that you enable Mullvad DoH.”, and then proceeds to say “It is better to use our non-logging privacy DNS than your Internet provider’s DNS.”, so it’s clearly not about other VPN users.
My guess is that it’s probably better anti fingerprinting wise to keep it on, but keep in mind that you’re trusting both Mullvad and Windscribe

I read their new review and still can’t figure out if I should leave Mullvad DNS running when using Proton VPN.

Browser Compartmentalization and Mullvad Browser settings

I also answered on the other thread, so let me quote myself: This is mainly for two reasons: performance: DNS requests sent through DoH are anycasted, so you can’t be sure they will take the shortest path, and using the same server as the VPN tunnel will ensure you get the fastest response potential detection of VPN: some services will look for mismatch between DNS requests and other types of request and might block you from using their services As a Mullvad VPN user, there’s no advantage …

This is still not clear for me either.

If I use trustworthy VPN A (not Mullvad) with Mullvad Browser, should I change the ‘Enable DNS over HTTPS using:’ to ‘Default Protection’ and risk fingerprinting or leave to ‘Max Protection’ and risk DNS leak?
