Depends who you trust more with your DNS traffic. I know who I trust more.
- nojs 1y agoWho? Honest question
- misiek08 1y agoGoogle is serving you ads, CF isn’t. And it’s not conspiracy theory - it was very suspicious when we did some testing on small, aware group. The traffic didn’t look like being handled anonymously at Google side
- mnordhoff 1y agoUnless the privacy policy changed recently, Google shouldn't be doing anything nefarious with 8.8.8.8 DNS queries.
- DarkCrusader2 1y agoThey weren't supposed to do anything with our gmail data as well. That didn't stop them.
- Tijdreiziger 1y ago[citation needed]
- johnklos 1y agoRead their TOS.
- Tijdreiziger 1y agoIf it’s in the ToS, then it’s not true that “[they] weren't supposed to do anything with our gmail data”.
- daneel_w 1y agoYeah it's not like they have a long track record of being caught red-handed stepping all over privacy regulations and snarfing up user activity data across their entire range of free products...
- opan 1y agoCF breaks half the web with their awful challenges that fail in many non-mainstream browsers (even ones based on chromium).
- Elucalidavah 1y agoRealistically, either you ignore the privacy concerns and set up routing to multiple providers preferring the fastest, or you go all-in on privacy and route DNS over Tor over bridge. Although, perhaps, having an external VPS with a dns proxy could be a good middle ground?
- Tijdreiziger 1y agoMiddle ground is ISP DNS, right?
- sumeno 1y agoIf privacy is your primary concern I would 100% trust Cloudflare or Google over an ISP in the US
- Tijdreiziger 1y agoI’m in the Netherlands.
- daneel_w 1y agoIf you're the technical type you can run Unbound locally (even on Windows) and let it forward queries with DoT. No need for neither Tor nor running your own external resolver.
- immibis 1y agoMyself, I suppose? Recursive resolvers are low-maintenance, and you get less exposure to ISP censorship (which "developed" countries also do).
- daneel_w 1y agoQuad9, dns0.
