Google Public DNS Servers

[Skippy]

I'm giving it a little whirl too.

[Don't appear to get any 404 redirector errors either. Which VirginMedia introduced on their DNS servers and required filling in various forms to switch it all off.)


Seems they've revised their frontend too with focus on search box and mouse movement to fade in hyperlinks.

Sorry, but I'll stick with OpenDNS if it's all the same.

I stopped trusting Google a while back.

haha, bots sniffing about collating data from you. ;-D

And Google isn't? You think perhaps they're doing this out of the goodness of their hearts?

Huh? But.. I thought.. Google are the good guys aren't they? They're just being generous and allowing us the privilege of using their service enhancements..

I love helping Google bots, sharing is caring and makes the Internet a better place. *hugs*

You must be misguided surely?

Lots of feedback on this on the Lifehacker site here. Most agree that it is faster and of course the privacy debate is up for discussion again...

Thanks for sharing.  Some of the comments seem quite interesting. Have to see how this service unfolds.

Bit shallow and demeaning that defaced photo depicting a homeless person as a troll. :-/

Oh, and I like how their Security Benefits page http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/security.html does not once mention your privacy in using the servers.  And it isn't specifically addressed in their privacy policy page, either.

Hmm, I wonder why. Well if in doubt I guess don't use the service after all it is just a choice. ;-)

Perhaps talking to you on your level with your pictorial illustration gallery might make more sense. http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q285/the_leander/Picard-no-facepalm.jpg

It's intentionally not embedded for the considerations for users to give the choice of whether to view the image or not.

Also as a recognition of individual browsing practices such as that perhaps they're maybe using a resolution lesser than for example the image dimensions "799px × 609px" that you keep plastering each time adding unnecessary decoding to a thread with your misconstrued postings.

That's why my comment states:
