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.

I removed some of the records form the article after reading some of the comments here. Cloudflare, Google, and OpenDNS only.

Kind of cool, I switched it up and ran it against 10 sites I frequent... was pretty impressed to see how well OpenDNS was doing.

I wasn't aware of Quad9, it seems like a pretty great option for those that are easy targets of scams/phishing.

Quad9 is supported/funded by City Of London Police, the same police that cooperates with ad companies to track people online. https://www.theguardian.com/media-network/media-network-blog...

Keep away from this.

That is what original test was testing.
