    I have very mixed feelings about this, because although it’s important to secure and encrypt DNS, I’m not thrilled with increasing centralization by directing DNS traffic into the hands of a very small number of (commercial) providers.

    I wrote about some of the tradeoffs a little less than a year ago: https://www.pelicancrossing.net/netwars/2019/05/namesakes_1.html

      Well, I see the argument, but my default provider at home is Comcast, a giant, so really if I point at OpenDNS or something, am I not diversifying where my profile info is stored?
