My ISPs DNS lookup takes literally one second every time, so I went with Quad9, it really sped up my browsing. Do you know any other alternatives?

I’ve been using a PiHole for years now. It’s super easy to set up. In practice, it’s been the most reliable thing I keep on a pi. Technically, you don’t need to host it on a raspberry pi, but you should host it on an always-on computer on your network.
Kind of a different way of looking at security; you can’t guarantee someone’s not keeping DNS logs, but you can guarantee that your DNS logs on a hard drive in your house aren’t being shared.
you still need to point the pihole somewhere though
Unbound is a better solution. It queries the root, TLD, and authoritative servers recursively. Then it caches the response (for a quicker response next time). It works flawlessly with Pi-hole.

that, or technitium dns, which can do the same with a web admin interface
