> DNS: The Internet's Biggest Privacy Hole
Almost every packet on the Internet identifies the user's IP and the server to which they are connecting (with the exception of VPN traffic and Tor). DNS does not reveal much more than that.
I do agree that Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 does almost nothing to improve end user confidentiality - there are so many other ways users are tracked, and in much greater detail than DNS can provide; and if your ISP is your DNS vendor, 1.1.1.1 only adds to the number of organizations that can monitor you. But 1.1.1.1 is an important piece of a much larger puzzle that could, if completed, provide greater confidentiality.
