Your right they are good DNS spots. OPEN DNS; also a good one, but like before; I feel like I'm giving way too much info for what I need. I have. Your right they are good DNS spots.

Pro: Might perform better, can offer protection from malware, filtering options and more. Con: In fact might be slower because it is farther. So it is practical to test and see which variant fits your connection better. It might not be a good idea to jump on whatever tests tell you, but it is definitely good idea to test at least once and ensure that provider’s DNS is fast enough and works properly.

My rule of thumb is be careful with DNS "HIDEING" programs. @ad_infinitum – DNS= more ways to be tracked,hacked, and basically givin away your ISP’s DNS server’s;wich are the fastest one’s you can get.

(well, you get the rest - and excuse my french). The fact that their proposal is "user data revealing/ gathering" oriented, while obviously other solutions can lead to the desired result, says it all. Read the comments over at Arstechnica - it's spelled out in any possible way. This company's ... lust (sorry, don't know what else to call it) for collecting & exploiting Internet user's data seems to have no end. The disregard/ disrespect of privacy by Google has driven me away from anything related to them and looking back to the days I did use it, I can't believe how naive I was - better late than never. @kingpin Haven't tried that one out as I use DNSBench and am quite happy with it - try it out, it's completely portable. Among other things, you can add any DNS Server you like to test. When I tested Google's, they scored far from the top five - so, even if I could disregard everything else about Google, I have absolutely no incentive to use them. Besides, unless your ISP has a really screwed up its DNS Servers' configuration, your IPS' are usually the fastest for you. It doesn't hurt though to test them from time to time, as results may varry (depending on day and time). ad_infinitum Hi,

Honestly Google clearly wants to wrestle control over the Internet which we must oppose at cost.I also don't use the chrome browser because of privacy concern again. Recently a S/W called DNS jumper has been released where you can change you DNS and revert back with default option,hope this off-topic detail may offer some help,I haven't used it myself,would love to hear what everyone has to say about this.
