Quick performance test comparing these 4 players:

* Google: 8.8.8.8 * Quad9.com: 9.9.9.9 * http://OpenDNS.com: 208.67.222.222 * https://CleanBrowsing.org: 185.228.168.168

Only New York and Paris were close. Their performance in Tokyo & Dallas were sub optimal. OpenDNS has a much better performance and closer to Google than quad9.

But I will still try it out and hope they keep supporting it.
