I think we'll need to wait for Gail's next move. It may be easier to send a check to Gail via online bill pay in the future. Anyway, we'll wait for Gail's response.

I do see this: reddit.com , but it indicates that all PII is not logged. Regardless, you do need to pick-your-poison. I guess I'd prefer to trust Quad9 than to trust my ISP's DNS not to get poisoned.

Yeah, I do run dnsmasq on most of my machines (not Windows), but don't depend upon the routers for their dnsmasq (or unbound) since unsure whether those can be poisoned or not.

It's on my project backlog to use DNS-Over-HTTPS or DNS-Over-TLS with dnsmasq (dnsmasq does not directly support this). Quad9 does support this; perhaps Cloudflare does, too.

I agree, and one of the things I hate most about the Youtube recommendation engine. Its recommendations are very shallow, mostly. I try to go directly to my subscriptions when possible to bypass the engine, but it's a lot of work.
