When it comes to browsing the internet, your privacy is one of the most important things to worry about. This is why when you’re sending data to and from a server, you’ll want to make sure that it’s encrypted. This is a measure put into place to keep hackers from affecting the DSN traffic.
Having DSN over HTTP will add a major benefit to browsing with Android 13
Right now, the current versions of Android use DSN-over-TLS (DoT). This has been in place since Android 9 Pie, and it also encrypted the DSN traffic going out. However, there’s a major benefit to using DSN over HTTP with Android 13. Firstly, with DoT, while the data is encrypted, the port it uses could be an issue. On the network level, anyone can see the traffic going in and out. This is auspicious for hackers to gain access to your data. DSN over HTTP uses port 443, and this port is a standard one for HTTP. Thus, the information like requests and traffic can blend in with the other HTTP traffic. This pretty much makes it impossible for other people to see what data you’re sending and receiving.
What else can we expect from Android 13?
Right now, information is coming to the surface regarding what Android 13 will hold. There aren’t a lot of major visual changes coming. However, there are some functional overhauls on the way. Android 13 is planning on reducing the game load times. With this feature, when a game is loading something, it will communicate with the software that it’s loading. When that happens, the software will boost the CPU performance for the game. Basically, the CPU will prioritize the game in order to load faster. We’re not sure if this is just for the initial load or if it will happen every time the game is actively loading. Google didn’t officially announce this, but if this feature is coming out, it’s possible that we’ll hear about it during Google I/O. There is going to be more news about Android 13 as more people dig into the software.
