ZTDNS brings the best of both worlds to DNS: encryption and fine-grained control.
I totally get what you're saying, even though I disagree with small details. Also, about the OP, I think DNS and its resolution should obligatory be server in a decentralized manner. If Microsoft takes control over such vital service, and since we agree they own the market (regarding home computers, laptops etc), it raises serious concerns about people's access to information, which is much more worrisome than (the also included) privacy concerns.
