- bayindirh 6y agoI don't know which DNS server PiHole uses or whether it's configured to cache normal DNS queries too. The aim here is to minimize the DNS query turnaround time and reduce the latencies while opening a connection. When the network is working smoother, Firefox's performance goes up in a disproportional fashion. I didn't notice the same amount of improvement in other network bound stuff but, Firefox went from "meh" to "youjustdidwhat!?" after DNSMasq installation and modem change. Same thing also happened when I changed my modem 7-8 years ago after my venerable Alcatel Speedtouch died. So, in retrospect, modem chipset really plays a central role in your home network performance.
