Use your ISPs official DNS so that you get the shortest path possible from the ISPs handoff location to the CDN (and overseas trunks), not a generic DNS that doesn’t know about your ISPs layout. ISP: 1ms to Cloudflare Cloudflare: 10ms to Cloudflare Thank you for your attention to this matter. Edit: will clarify, this advice applies to countries with good privacy laws and no national surveillance i.e. not the USA
It would be nice if a site like this could offer a basic speed comparison test to your local network. Imagine seeing response times at P90 for a series of random lookups and comparing the median response times.
If it is this hard to choose a resolver, imagine how hard it is to choose a web browser, which is a choice that actually matters.
The nearest resolver is
$ sudo apt-get install unbound
Why cloudflare is listed under maximum privacy?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Be cautious with Quad9; their main address (9.9.9.9) has a "malware" blacklist that has misfired several times already: twice for a private torrent tracker, once for gist.github.com, issue was resolved within minutes to hours. They have a non-filtered address (9.9.9.10), but it doesn't do DNSSEC verification. IMO they're too unreliable to be worth the hassle.
Quad9 employs DNSSEC on all endpoints now. https://quad9.net/news/blog/quad9-enables-dnssec-on-all-serv...

That’s no good if you want uncensored DNS.
ok now add benchmarking a-la https://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm to rank them on performance for your specific region etc. note on privacy: if you are using port 53 you are cooked so make sure you are using dns-over-tls or dns-over-https.

Changing your DNS does basically bupkis for privacy, since they can still read your DNS queries and SNIs.
