    Talking Which DNS service do you use?

    I prefer speed over security and privacy so my vote goes to Google DNS. Google DNS seems to be faster for me than my ISP's DNS.

    Don't know which DNS service is faster for you. find out

    So whats your choice share with us.

    I use Norton DNS (another layer of protection since it blocks sites on the Norton blacklist) for the 1st 2 slots in my router configuration and have Google DNS (speed) for the 3rd one.

    None. Airtel DNS is faster for me than others in a Namebench test

    Earlier I was using OpenDNS (with another ISP)

    I don't use any DNS service. Tried Google, Comodo and Open DNS. But didn't find any speed improvement. So, just using what my ISP provides.

    Currently using DynDNS from OpenDNS. Seems same as Google DNS but still just started using it. Have tried Comodo DNS...seems same in speed as OpenDNS and my ISP.

    I'm using Google DNS, I tried Norton DNS before but it changed my url bar search provider from google to ask.com Tried to change it back with "about:config" but the "Keyword.URL" value wasn't changed....

    I am not sure how it changed your search provider as for changing DNs, you need to just change your DNS server's IP address in your network configuration and no install is needed.

    I'm not sure also :P (That's what I did, I changed the network configuration on control panel)

    I've just tried again and got the same result: I press ctrl+L to focus on the url bar and then write something, avinashtech for example, without Norton DNS it performs a google search with the option " I'm feeling lucky " and I found myself on ; with Norton however it performs and "ask.com" search and I find a list of results for avinashtech.
