NXDOMAIN hijacking is enough for me to switch, and most ISPs are doing it nowadays.
That’s quite a bold claim. Got any data to back it up? Source: I've yet to see this on any ISP I've used anywhere , sans free airport wifis. Travelled pretty much every continent on earth.

Your anecdote means nothing, you stupid piece of shit.
Which ISPs are so bad that you want to use external services, which are further in distance than your ISP, for speed? When I test with my ISP, they beat all of these services (both IPv4 and IPv6). They're simply closer to me in terms of hops. My router is another story though. The Fritzbox (>200eur router) adds 6ms of latency, and that's what is advertised over DHCP. (Might still be fine, since cached queries are fas…

I think we'll start seeing the standard configuration of 1.1.1.1,8.8.8.8 everywhere. Google/Cloudflare tackled the UX of free DNS spectacularly with these gold IP addresses. It's the primary reason I use them instead of OpenDNS, which was an earlier player in this space.
Be careful with that, Google DNS (as an example) will start ignoring your DNS requests if you go over the rate-limit. Not an issue for home users, but an issue for any sizeable business.

My own tiny neighborhood ISP thinks they are smart and have their own CDN for caching everything under the sun. Of course it doesn't work well, not only it caches DNS and HTTP requests like kids collecting candy in Halloween but it also breaks HTTPS sometimes. As an anecdote of how bad ISP caching can hurt you, I am a web developer and I was debugging an issue in a legacy system. I had fixed the stuff and deployed a…
Naturally, it can't be disabled.

Ever since The Great Comcast DNS Outage of 2010, I've had the OpenDNS IPs burned into my memory from telling so many people. I like the fact that you can sign up for OpenDNS and customize some of the filtering (ads, spam/malware, etc.) They used to have crappy handling of nxdomains (by default) redirecting you to a website with ads, but I believe that's no longer the case?
As250 is running a free DNS server with adblocking enabled FWIW: https://twitter.com/as250/status/790593201832857601?s=20 Pihole is also a great alternative if you have a spare raspi lying around.
Really, if you have a spare computer of any type. I run it on a VM and it works just fine. It was made for Raspberry Pis but it'll work on any system.

I guess you've never been to Turkey.
I presume that Google uses this as part of it's surveillance operation.
Google has a separate, stricter, privacy policy for Google Public DNS: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/privacy Basically there are two log files kept: - One for up to 48 hours which contains IP addresses, which is used for handling abuse. - One is permanent which doesn't contain any personal identifying information (eg IP addresses), which is used for things like internal performance monitoring, load t…
Quad9 has several IPs and different services, see ( https://www.heise.de/imgs/18/2/3/1/7/9/4/7/quad9-feature-mat... ). For some reason this is hidden on the quad9 website.
Seems they've sunset .11 and .12, but .10 is still up.
Sure, I expect Google is slurping all of my connections to help build an ad profile on me. But what about the other companies? They've got to keep the lights on somehow.
