i use quad9, but good to know alternatives are showing up.

just never believe they won't collect data. no matter who is saying so.

I checked Quad9 a while back and wanted it to work for me. My thinking was, that being domiciled in Switzerland, it should be high it comes to privacy. Unfortunately, Quad9 is kind of pretty slow from Asia.

Google is good, but Cloudflare has caught up and is way faster. Personally, I'm happy with NextDNS for now.

nextdns is a good choice too.

google i think is just branded cloudflare. cf will be the fastest always, but the most pernicious.

quad9 have low cache so usually first requests take a while.

These days, it is more harder to sell free, especially when it comes to something that is at the core of privacy. You need to clarify and sell the “why this is free” much harder and clearer.

who runs it, who funds it

Sorry, but something which is running on .pw domain doesn't give me any trust.

There's also UncensoredDNS: https://blog.uncensoreddns.org/

The instruction for browser setup is faulty, you can't just enter the domain like Android's Private DNS, you need the protocol and path too, ie, https://switzerland.privacy-dns.pw/dns-query

The instruction for Apple devices ignores that Apple has DNS profiles that support both DoT & DoH, much easier to just include the mobiconfig for download.

Is serving Do53 even necessary today? Your servers are likely going to be abused for DNS amplification attacks. All modern OS, even Windows, already natively support DoH and/or DoT which is immune to amplification attack abuse.
