Why does everyone make such a fuss about privacy?

What if you were a woman who had a miscarriage and the trackers got ahold of that information from your search and browsing habits on planned parenthood (which has a LOT of third party trackers and cookies)? Would you like to see ads of what could have been your baby for eternity?

This information could be sold to insurance providers and your premiums could go up since you’re more of a “health risk”.

There are endless avenues where your data could end up and affect your life in the real world.

Importance of encrypted DNS?

Encrypted DNS can help minimize the amount of information available to your ISP. Most ISPs block and log your traffic through DNS queries since it's the easiest. By encrypting your DNS traffic, the ISP can't see what domain you're trying to find. Although, if they are motivated enough, they can sniff the SNI headers from your TCP traffic.

I'd stay away from Google DNS as they log it for themselves.

Use something like Quad9.net or Control D.

Quad9 is based in Switzerland where privacy laws are stricter, most notably the one where they cannot cooperate with foreign intelligence agencies without approval from the Swiss government. Quad9 keeps no logs, while Cloudflare does for 25 hours.
