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?

    The one from your ISP. Your ISP can see your traffic anyway, so you gain nothing by using a third-party DNS server.

      As far as I read (I’m no expert!) they could check the SNI of the TLS handshake if they want. But using the DNS of the ISP is handing them the data right in a way they can analyze/use them very easily afaik?

      Still learning about this topic!

        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.

        Well that sucks. I never heard of that before. How does that work? (I know how DNS spoofing/hijacking works, but with HTTPS no injected DNS should work, unless their CA certificate is installed in your system/browser, right?)
