> On your router, you can configure whatever you want to use for the DNS. You were able to do that for years.
Sure, if you have a router and know how to configure it. The second requirement excludes the vast majority of non-tech-savvy users, even though they are also harmed by lying or data-collecting DNS resolvers and likely would not consent to them if asked. (The first requirement additionally excludes phones and other devices directly connected to a mobile network; of course, you can generally configure the devices themselves to use a different DNS server, but it may be annoying if you have a lot of them. More convenient if devices already default to the option that protects your privacy, i.e. DoH.)
> P.S. My ISP's DNS doesn't lie. Maybe you should vote with your money and choose better.
Even if it doesn’t lie, does it log requests and sell that data? Are you sure?
Anyway, in many locations including most of the US, there’s no meaningful choice available among wireline ISPs.
