    Makes me cringe thinking of all those years I was using Google DNS, back when I believed that “don’t be evil” shit

    Haha, yeah what idiots. Obviously we all know what dns we should be using for privacy but maybe someone should say it out loud in case someone doesn’t?

    If you've got some free time and a spare computer, pihole with recursive DNS, it blocks ads and queries the root DNS servers itself (requires some extra set up though).

    Other services like Quad9 are good for networks other than your home though.

    Personally I use the cloudflare option but specifically route the DNS traffic, along with everything else that can be out a pair of tunnels rather than the WAN to merge it with everyone else using the same endpoints, but whatever solution works for you.
