My ISPs DNS lookup takes literally one second every time, so I went with Quad9, it really sped up my browsing. Do you know any other alternatives?

    The only downside here is that the root servers don’t use TLS so your queries are plain text.

      Why does that matter when your ISP will know the IP of the server and a reverse lookup is probably very easy to find what domain you visited?

        Reverse lookups are comparatively time consuming and a single IP may resolve to many domain names.

        It’s not the ISP I’m most worried about, although, in regard to their TOS, that one seems to go south, too.
