I just use quad9:

Also operated by a non-profit and also in Europe (albeit in Switzerland that isn't part of EU).

I wish they'd put more resolvers around the globe. I have 10ms ping to the nearest Cloudflare colocation, but around 100ms to quad9. It makes browsing the web so much slower.

90 ms. So much.

Keep your sarcasm to yourself. Multiply 90ms by sometimes dozens of domains modern websites like to load from. Occasionally ISP reroutes me to another Cloudflare colocation and ping to 1.1.1.1 rises to 20-25 ms. It's easily noticeable. I like to play the guessing game, and almost always "win".

Can you please tell them that? I feel you, 100ms ARE recognizable if you have otherwise a fast net, it like snap to clap.

From Romania, I've been getting random delays/timeouts with quad9.

Please please inform them about it.

I seem to have worked around it with a DNS cache (systemd-resolved as the Linux instructions for dns0.eu suggest).

I don't have time or care enough to debug intermittent network issues, if they no longer bother me.

I think you have other problems then just a plug on cache then...

>I don't have time or care enough to debug intermittent network issues, if they no longer bother me.

I see who's the problem now ;)

I had the same issue here in Sweden. 1.5 second delays on some lookups. I opened a ticket and worked with them to isolate the issue, which they then fixed. They were very helpful and very knowledgeable for L1 support.

Which doesn't do ad blocking.

Yeah i don't want that at a "not controlled by me" level.

For what it's worth: nextdns.io, Adblock DNS, etc., give you granular control at DNS level, both which lists to use, but also overrides.

AdBlock DNS also gives you full custom rules engine and DSL.
