This is the Cloudflare resolver, right? What's the "privacy-first" part about? It's just another third party DNS host. They haven't changed the protocol to be uninspectable and AFAIK haven't made any guarantees about logging or whatnot that would enhance privacy vs. using whatever you are now. This just means you're trusting Cloudflare instead of Comcast or Google or whoever.

On the contrary, they've taken 2 big steps that are better than ISPs (not sure about Google):

* no logging

* DNS over HTTPS

I've switched to cloudflare and none of the dns leak tests are showing my DNS, which I find interesting. They always showed google.
