I use 9.9.9.9 for my home desktop to avoid the interception of my DNS queries by my cable company. I'd very much rather get an NXDOMAIN than a connection to some web server that wants to offer me a "helpful" web page, even when I'm running a non-web client like ssh or 'dig'.
And I'd really like not to enrich my ISP's trove of information about my browsing habits by them recording all my DNS lookups. Of course, 9.9.9.9 could be collecting that information, but they're in less of a position to insert ads than my cableco is.
The only queries for which the query string is collected are those which match the malware block-lists. IP addresses are not collected for any queries, not even for ones which match the malware block-lists. https://quad9.net/privacy/ -Bill
