Using OpenDNS is better than the others, if you want a secure internet browsing I recommend using OpenDNS.
This is very usefull for kids, coz I like OpenDNS web filtering method…very secure and effective…
Try it and you’ll see the difference.
Yeah right,i dont have anything against google but google may even store our web history if we use its DNS, so its a better option to use openDNS for web security and privacy.
