How many folk here on HN are using 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 for DNS?

I do not believe that Google is not doing something with the DNS data.

Data is a commodity after-all.

It depends on what they're using the data for.

Cloudflare if they use their DNS data, is likely to use it to improve their network and security products. Google likely uses it to sell intrusive ads.

I know which one I'm more comfortable with.
