I’ve definitely seen IKEA products with bad reviews.

If it’s in the ToS, then it’s not true that “[they] weren't supposed to do anything with our gmail data”.

Middle ground is ISP DNS, right?

Which home routers can resolve recursively instead of needing upstream DNS? I’ve never seen this across many brands of home routers.

Your ISP publishes T&Cs and a privacy policy too.

Furthermore, your ISP’s resolver is probably in your ISP’s network, so your queries don’t have to go out through peering/transit.

The Netherlands actually explicitly set aside spectrum in the 4G auctions to be auctioned off to new market entrants (besides the established T-Mobile, Vodafone, and KPN), leading to the entry of Tele2 (until then an MVNO) and Ziggo/UPC (until then cable ISPs and MVNOs) into the market.

However, a few years down the line, Tele2 ended up in a merger with T-Mobile (now Odido), and Ziggo/UPC/Vodafone went through mergers to end up as VodafoneZiggo.

Firefox is free, none of its users are paying for it.

No, contrary to you and GP, the stable version of Firefox for Android (on the Google Play Store) supports all Firefox extensions, including ad blockers.

There was a short period in the switch-over from Fennec (old FF for Android) to Fenix (new FF for Android) when the stable version didn’t support all extensions, but this hasn’t been the case anymore for years now.

Huh? The average Quad9 user is probably a tech-savvy person who cares about online privacy and/or malware protection (Quad9 blocks known malicious domains).

The average burglar probably isn’t cross-referencing DNS statistics.

Quad9 (the subject of this post) already offers ‘threat blocking’ by default.

I don’t think many people judge cities by their malls.

Warsaw and New York absolutely do not have the same look to them. (Haven’t been to Dubai to compare.)

That’s impossible, because your reply was posted 19 hours ago, while the one I linked was posted 1 hour ago :)
