That's (mostly) great! I personally don't use it, but do appreciate competition in public DNS resolvers and having a high-quality fallback for networks that have a mediocre native resolver.

Maybe this would be a good opportunity to stop truncating EDNS client subnets from requests [1]: It doesn't really help user privacy, but is quite anti-competitive since it can degrade latency needlessly for other (DNS-based) CDNs [2], especially in regions where Cloudflare does not have a POP closer to the user than the other CDN.
