Best DNS for privacy? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I read a bit about using a different DNS for Privacy and I think the best one should be quad9? Or is there anything better except self hosting a DNS?

Well, you're right. I was mixing a few things up in my head. My bad. Altrough I did find a few interesting ways that can be used by websites to find client side DNS, it isn't exactly the norm or likely to hit you with custom setups.

I retract my point on DNS, but the general notion that do-it-yourself isn't always better stays. Al be it off-topic here now.

Interesting, can you share any links regarding finding client DNS?
