Should I use my ISP's DNS, or Google's 8.8.8.8?
- by Torben Gundtofte-Bruun
It seems like a good idea to use Google's public DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 because it's really fast -- much faster than my own ISP's DNS! -- and probably more reliable, too. That seems like a ridiculously quick win for me, and much easier to remember.
Assuming we're not all "tin foil hat" about Google, why shouldn't everybody use Google DNS?
Note: I've seen this question, but I don't want a comparison to OpenDNS. This is about everyday use by everyday people in their homes.
Update: I seem to have put my hand in a wasps' nest of privacy concerns. I appreciate the issue, but I was expecting a more technology-oriented discussion...
