I ditched my ISP's DNS service and you should too

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is responsible for translating domain names to IP addresses, allowing devices to work out where a domain name points to and connect directly to that remote network. This information is loaded as you connect to different sources, and all the data is cached locally to avoid having to run the same process for each request. Using a DNS server hosted by Google, Cloudflare, or some other company is great for reliability and such, but it's not fully private.
