- vetinari 8y agoStill, Google is tightening the screws: moving DNS resolver into the browser, instead of using the system one; moving DNS over to https+ESNI to hide among other traffic; forcing their own DNS servers instead of user configured. That's all together means, that they do not trust not only the ISPs, but neither the user, and that they want to have a unobstructed communication channel out of their software to the mothership, privacy and control by the users be damned. So the pihole community is tiny, but that may be the reason, why Google thinks that they are worth the sacrifice: after all, there is just a few of them.
- heavenlyblue 8y agoNah. I use 8.8.8.8 at home simply because it was a long time since providers in the UK didn’t try to intercept the failed DNS queries. On top of that, Virgin Media resolver managed to go offline particularly regularly. So here we are: what user sees is that a particular device doesn’t work, while others do. So they obviously blame the ones adhering to standards.
