Advice Request Comodo Secure DNS?

[shmu26]

Anyone have experience with this -- is it good ?
Comodo Secure DNS, Managed DNS Service, Secure DNS Provider
Maybe there are better ones ?
I don't get what makes a DNS service better than just having a browser extension that filters urls.

Well you can apply the DNS to a router used by multiple clients unlike a browser extension.

I personally use google's Public DNS because I find that it's very reliable and sort of faster than my own ISP's DNS. If you are looking for more security measures I know Verisign and OpenDNS also have very good DNS addresses that focus more on security.

You can refer to this list to see the list of recommended DNS servers but ultimately they won't really affect your browsing experience that much unless you choose a really bad one in which case it might slow your load times.

google DNS does seem a bit faster on certain sites, as opposed to default DNS settings.

Comodo is fine however if you will rely too much on detection filter then do not expect solid results; remember that any AV companies have different response time.

The reason of having DNS filter detection is in order to assess the malicious address closely and create a blacklist however the concept still the same upon analysis like traditional ones.

GoogleDNS, OpenDNS and NortonDNS are the best choices to achieve both security and speed, independently on your country.
Other DNSs may be faster or slower depending on your geographical area, but these 3 are the best in my opinion.
I noticed Comodo to be slower than others on many config in my area (Italy).
Currently sticking with OpenDNS

COMODO SecureDNS has always been barely acceptable.

You will get much better protection using Norton ConnectSafe - but it will also block access to many sites used for malware testing. Norton ConnectSafe might not allow you to create URL access exceptions -- for the sites that it blocks, but you wish to visit.

Using a DNS for safe browsing is OK, but I have found a good adblocker such as Adguard or uBlock Origin much more user-friendly.
