pretty intresting

I actually don't know what this stuff is doing, but I use OpenDNS to block pages.

this is more of the opposite, in a nutshell, you use thier server for dns resolution and it susposed to speed up browsing immensely.

No doubt they will be collecting user data from this.

Google you sneaky dogs you.

this is really interesting

I like the IP addresses they got, too.

Using it now. Doesn't feel faster...

 

[Mussels]

at a guess, it would mostly help those on smaller/overloaded ISP's

for example, comcast users in peak hours when everything goes to a crawl

(same for exetel users here in Au)

I'm using OpenDNS as well and just tried Google's and I didn't see any increase in speed. Then again, my ISP decides to run one line for the entire town so my "15mpbs" line seems like dial-up anyway during peak times.:shadedshu

Nevermind the fact that Google and their private data collection techniques aren't too far away from Orwellian, I'll pass...

My thoughts exactly. They can keep it for themselves.
