We shouldn't listen to you. Google is better than anybody and we use it exclusively in my web dev company, my two restaurants, and all my friends and family. For whatever reason you choose to downgrade yourself to some other service, those other services do the same thing I presume you fear. |

Yea, Google would never use the data they collected on you...
It's trivial to setup and run your own DNS servers. |

Google Public DNS does not permanently store personally identifiable information.
IP information is deleted after 48 hours. They collect aggregate data, but nothing in it is personally identifiable. Compare that to OpenDNS's privacy policy which allows them to store this data forever. |

Always speed, never have any problems with them, and unlike most ISP's who can't seem to get DNS right or have multiple issues with it, Google's DNS servers have just worked. So just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean you you should be telling people not to use a product that will solve their issue. |

On that list you linked: My ISP is better than Google; and their DNS servers work very well. |

Re: Charter Being DDOS'DDear god you are paranoid... but then again, maybe you have to be - we don't know what you are doing with your connection. |

Only if you're on the Google koolaid, the whole "don’t be evil" shtick went out the window the instant they went public.
Host your own DNS or use a more transparent organization's like OpenDNS. Relying on Google for anything IS bad advice. |

You can say that with a straight face? Do you not know that OpenDNS is to Google as arsenic is to cyanide? |

I take it you never used their PAID DNS services?
What's better, a free proxy site or a paid non US based VPN service? |

No, sir, I have not. Where did you advise to use their paid DNS service? For my purpose, my (six-star "has your back") ISP DNS servers work just fine. DNS benchmarks I have run show them (marginally) faster than either Google, or OpenDNS. |

You realize this thread is about DNS? I assume you haven't read the Google DNS privacy policy then. While the things you say may be true, it is not true for Google DNS. |
