Re: "In some circumstances this may result in suboptimal routing between CDN origins and end users."

Maybe it's better now, but a couple years back I found streaming iTunes movies (I think Apple used Akamai at the time and may still) would not work at all if not using my ISP's DNS servers. So I had to configure dnsmasq to forward CDN domain lookups to my ISP's DNS servers.

I wonder if a good compromise for EDNs w.r.t. privacy would be that instead of forwarding the client subnet, instead have a lookup table mapping the client IP to their ISP's DNS servers, and then insert subnet of the ISP's DNS servers. I suppose it could be any "representative" subnet of the client ISP though.

Also, minor typo in the FAQ answer for "Does Quad9 implement DNSSEC?": "... Note that some variations of our resolver (differente IP addresses) may not provide DNSSEC."

Different has an extraneous trailing "e".

Maybe the author's mother tongue is Portuguese (we spell "diferente"). This typo is probably the one I commit the most :)
