Most people are clueless...

...about what a DNS is and won't touch it. Hell so many people don't know how to type a URL, they put it in the search box...

You must know my mom - it annoys me SO MUCH when she does this.

True, most people have no idea what DNS is.

It's still better to search than to mistype a URL... Annoying, yes, but it is rather safe to do this first instead of making a mistake. Either way, if it's somewhere you visit with any regularity, that's why bookmarks were invented

I see no problem with someone who's not so adept just searching first. It's also one way to avoid an unintended redirect by scammers/ISPs/etc!

Anyway, like others, I'll probably just file the info away "just in case" and continue to use my ISP's DNS.

I hate it when people do that!

I'll stick with OpenDNS. Google knows enough about me already. Too much.
