Lots of FUD, not so much useful stuff.

Lots of FUD, not so much useful stuff.
- Sidnicious 17y agoAgreed. Responding to competition by trying to scare your users away from the competitor isn't healthy.
- Confusion 17y agoIt's a tactic politicians have successfully used for ages. If it works, you can't blame a company for doing it. They're not in it for the ethics, but for the money.
- dschobel 17y agoAgreed. The first point is the only legitimate technical point. Everything else is just vague fear mongering about how google might misuse their dominant position and frankly DNS doesn't scare me any more than Google owning my email, documents and search history. Either way, OpenDNS is awesome and I'm excited to see how they'll proceed fighting Google's entry (on technical merit).
- bumblebird 17y agoIt seems more worried/scared than anything to me. If I was openDNS I would be worried also.
- polynomial 17y agoPutting aside Dave's obvious bias and the question of ads, frankly, I'm shocked he misses the obvious: Google DNS is intended to work with Chrome's DNS prefetch, which is arguably the key technique that makes Chrome so fast.
