Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how important is using one of the encrypted DNS services from the megathread? I've just been using Google's DNS servers directly on my router, and have yet to have any issues. Have I just been lucky?

Also, 🫡 to dbzer0 for migrating the community to Lemmy!

Cloudflare is the fastest and well if you use one of the sites proxied by them then they have your data anyways

Speed at any cost, some might value the small privacy gain for the few extra millisecond DNS queries. Which can also be cached locally so only the first one would be slow anyway.
