So if they were going to do an attack like this, they wouldn’t do anything like the DH attack you’re talking about, they’d have a custom CA in the browser’s SSL root store. That root cert means they can generate a certificate for any website you visit, and that custom root cert would be how they decrypt your traffic.

Afaik there isn’t a current attack on proper DH key pairings, but you can’t block the custom certificate path at the browser level without some serious server side work/client side JS to validate
