What, if any, Public DNS is preferred? (lemmy.world)

My ISP is AT&T (located in the U.S.) and I have issues loading random websites. Currently have Google DNS set in my router, which works great. But I'm guessing there's a better, more private, option?

If you need a traditional, unencrypted DNS service, check out Quad9 and AdGuard's Public DNS. If you can use DoT or DoH, use LibreDNS or Mullvad DNS. If you want more customization, check out NextDNS.

Quad9 does also offer DoT and DoH.

Even DNSCrypt, but I think nobody really uses that.
