For me it’s excellent, I switched from Google dns to Cloudflare a few years back and now to quad. I honestly can’t say I notice any difference at all. You should try them. My impression is really good.
I run a pihole dns server on my network configured to use quad with dnssec, so everyone in my family uses it and no complaints. :)
What specifically about CF is the problem?
You are only the 2nd to seem to have an issue, Ive heard hate before but no one is ever specific.
Is it just a “feeling”?
I like my dns records private and not shared with a corporation. How about you?
There is always Google dns otherwise. :)
I can certainly use them as a pass through for DNS, hows the latency?
