Here in India, its google and cloudflare are fastest. Unfortunately Quad9 seems to be too slow.

DNS filtering is a perk, but you can definitely live without it. Cloud flare and google are both quite reliable.

On my location now Cloudflare, Quad9, Adguard, OpenDNS are basically the same which is 65ms on average. Google is a bit slower with more than 80 and even over 100 sometimes. I was getting 19ms on Cloudflare for the last few weeks but now its back to 65 again. While it was getting 19 ms, I was getting connected to their Canadian servers. Canada is far away from my location while now I get 65ms and gets connected to either Australian or Singapore servers. Singapore is far nearer compared to Canada yet I was getting better response time there in case of Cloudflare. All other DNS providers always connect to Singapore based servers.

Been using it now for several months + Encrypted SNI. Everything seems to work totally fine.

Just switched to Quad9 DoH, it feels faster cause my ISP fixed routing latency and now I'm 56ms away from any server located in Miami US, previously it used to be between 80-120ms. Cloudflare is 2ms away but I don't like it at all.

On Android I use DoT (DNS over TLS) and on Windows I use my Unbound local DNS on a raspberry pi.

I would prefer if DoT had won out, but apparently DoH is the rising contender. I used to run DoT when I had an ASUS router with Merlin’s firmware. That was fantastic, he does great work.

Using quad9 on my mobile device + desktop as DOH, would use neustar but they dont support DOH

Btw, don't forget to change the DNS while doing malware test on the hub since Quad9 may block malicious hosts.

I have just switched to Quad9 for Windows and apps. UltraDNS does not seem to offer free version anymore, while DNS servers still work, it is only a matter of time till they shut them down or limit the usage. Not to mention the lack of DoH (for the upcoming Windows). Quad9 is for me faster than #1.
Quad9 supposedly supports ESNI, if you can trust this recent, but nameless comment.

I'm using 1.1.1.1 too. It's set up on router, though, without encryption. Router itself is really old, back from 2013, so it doesn't support DNS encryption. I'm instead using DoH via Chrome on PCs, and DoT on mobile devices via AdGuard.
Recently, 1.1.1.1 started to be a lot faster at my place. My ISP finally realized they could direct all Cloudflare traffic trough local internet exchange instead of Austria. Ping to 1.1.1.1 used to be around 10 ms, now it's 1 ms. Here's Google Public DNS for comparison.

Check ping of the dns server address shown here to be sure:
Who is My DNS? Free DNS Hijack Detector
DNS Hijacking is becoming a more common and until now there hasn't been a tool to check what server is actually making your DNS requests for your device. What is my DNS? What is my DNS Server

Try DnsJumper and DNS Benchmark there are information it depends on where you live
mine (US) OpenDNS fastest 72 millionsec then Google DNS 92 and Cloudflare 105

How is it possible to have 72ms to OpenDNS in the US?
I live in South America and pinging to any Miami server gives me results between 55-60ms

If those are uncached results that might be pretty accurate.
