In relation to privacy, I remember reading that Quad9 is a good DNS provider and that Cloudflare although in theory is the fastest DNS provider has basically alone the majority of the DNS market, which is obviously a bad idea.

I also remember that recently Quad9 was fighting in court a case where a government wanted to block certain IP pirate pages but blaming Quad9 for “facilitating” them.

I know that both Quad9 and Cloudflare are recommended on PrivacyGuides but I wanted to read some opinions on that.

    NextDNS is great and I use it on my phone, but I find it a bit unnecessary to pay for it… I have nothing against it and I would do it if I could, but 90% of the features are unnecessary for me, I have no reason to block specific IPs or domains or use parental controls, and if I wanted to block ads I have uBlock Origin, and I think 300,000 queries per month for a PC is too little…
