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?

Even if you use DOH for upstream servers?

In the end it comes down to what your goals is. DOH indeed hides DNS queries from sniffers and your ISP, but the traffic between you and your destination is still visible for the ISP (unless you use a VPN or TOR).

If you only care about the content blocking aspect a third party resolver may make sense as @CrazyClown@lemmy.ca explained below.

Yes, my question was just referred to DNS queries. Thank you for your reply.
