After switching to DNSCrypt, the networking icon on Ubuntu's taskbar makes it look like Net is down.

Facepalm.
 
Add these parameters to app target:
Code: 
--enable-features="dns-over-https<DoHTrial" --force-fieldtrials="DoHTrial/Group1" --force-fieldtrial-params="DoHTrial.Group1:server/https%3A%2F%2F1.1.1.1%2Fdns-query/method/POST"
 
chrome://flags/#dns-over-https has arrived in chrome stable i believe. still no idea if it does anything.
 
We’re also launching Secure DNS, a feature designed to improve your security and privacy while browsing the web. When you access a website, your browser first needs to determine which server is hosting it, using a step known as a "DNS (Domain Name System) lookup." Chrome's Secure DNS feature uses DNS-over-HTTPS to encrypt this step, thereby helping prevent attackers from observing what sites you visit or sending you to phishing websites. By default, Chrome will automatically upgrade you to DNS-over-HTTPS if your current service provider supports it. You can also configure a different secure DNS provider in the Advanced security section, or disable the feature altogether.

Chrome stable version 83 has the setting/flag to enable secure DNS which I have enabled but it still shows failed in CloudFlare test site. FF shows passed.
 
that flag has existed for a while. you would still need to enable it from settings. chrome://settings/?search=Use+secure+DNS does not locate the setting with relevant flags enabled in stable and beta for me.
