Nice try CloudFlare,
but I'm still picking Quad9 any day over you:
https://www.quad9.net/
- Oh wow, that might be the shortest-representation IPv6 DNS server I've seen to date: 2620:fe::9
  
  2a09:: 2a11:: and 2409:: are the shortest.
- I don't trust CloudFlare with my data,
  assume they will sell it since it's a for-profit company.
  Meanwhile Quad9 touts about not logging IPs and being GDPR compliant.
- 9.9.9.9 has twice the latency for me. Why pick quad9 over, say, 1.1.1.2?

  Twice the latency for DNS results? Care to give concrete examples? DNS is usually very fast. Twice as long as very fast is still pretty quick, in my opinion.
- kinda hate how they don't provide dns with dnssec but no malware blocking (i prefer my dns to always just resolve stuff regardless if it's "malware" or not)
  also their default dns does has ECS disabled (they have an alternative one tho)
- there's no place like 127.0.0.1
  "there's no place like localhost?"
  
  Yeah, it's so out of touch, at least put "192.168.1.*" or something. It's very individualistic.
For the modern IP (aka IPv6) folks: 2606:4700:4700::1111
Other brands of IPv6 DNS servers are available.
- Ah, just rolls off the tongue
  
  It is quite the mouthful, but I really hope people aren't -- whether v4 or v6 -- having to manually type in DNS servers regularly. Whatever your choice of DNS server, it should be a set-it-and-forget-it affair, so the one-off lookup time becomes negligible.
"You are the number 1111 (base 255) for me." isn't even a backhanded compliment any more, or is it?
I mean, that puts the person in question behind 16.843.008 more favourable people (unless I've miscalculated).
But which 1?
- They're polyamorous so one of the five.
- +1, but
  You even know that?!!
How about https://dns.watch/ instead ?
I'm keeping my Mullvad DNS.
Fun fact: if you listen really carefully, you'll hear "Party in the CIA" playing from the thing
