Anyway, sorry for not reading all of that, but I’ll make it short and stop discussing because I feel like this is leading nowhere.
Unless you’re using hyperlocal and cover all TLDs and wanna browse the internet there’s technically no way around but to use an online DNS server. So coming back to the privacy aspect of this topic the question is: Which one do you trust?
As I’ve said before: myself. Using unbound as a recursive resolver and cutting out the middlemen of CloudFlare, Quad9, Google, etc.
Edit: or do you want the authoritative name/root servers my recursive resolver asks? Ok. I didn’t give these as that’s who everybody asks, to include Google, Quad9, etc…hence me harping on saying cutting out those middlemen and asking the root servers directly. https://www.iana.org/domains/root/servers
