CloudFlare's dns seems like a better choice than Google's (from a mullvad dns user)

I’m a Quad9 guy myself but DNS is one of the things that isn't really being monopolized.

More worrying that they’re becoming a reverse proxy for literally everyone via their DDoS protection/anti-intusion services.

Which are quite good, let’s be honest, but that afford them the ability to monitor and censor, and if they have a failure they take down a large portion of the internet with them.

They could also start fucking with net neutrality, picking winners and losers as far as what services function in a viable way. Just because they haven’t doesn’t mean it isn’t uncomfortable that they’re in a position to.

google dns is the default, your isp likely uses google dns upstream.
