I personally use Google DNS (I'm not on SF).

It's because they support EDNS (so you get more location-specific responses), and the average response time of their DNS is faster.

There are two things to this:

you <--> server ping <--> server response time.

Cloudflare has centers in Pakistan so the server ping will be <5ms (in normal situations) but their DNS server responds late, and doesn't give IPs of CDNs that are closer to us.

Google's DNS servers ping is higher (40ms or so, if you're in Pindi/Isb) but the response time - even for the most obscure DNS requests - is way faster.

Overall, when you add the two numbers together, Google's is still faster AND relevant.
