Regardless of censorship, I don't recommend anyone to use ISP DNS servers. They are often slow, flaky and don't respect record TTLs.

Quad 1/8/9 isn't optimal alternative (too much centralization if everyone uses those by default) but running your own is easy.

some ISPs make it difficult to use other DNS servers

There's DNS over HTTPS they can't viably block, so thankfully they get the short end of the stick here.

edit: Thinking of it, anyone knows if it's possible to use that for OS-wide DNS resolves, not just for the browser?

Yes, on both macOS and Windows 11. On Mac you have to create/use a simple .mobileconfig profile. On Windows you have to separately provide both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Or set up a forwarder such as unbound(8) in the LAN and set up the network to use it as the DNS server.
