How can one avoid their browsing ending up in the passive DNS logs? For example, is using 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, or 9.9.9.9 (CF, Google, and Quad9, respectively) good or bad in this regard?

For example, where does Spamhaus get their passive DNS data? They write [1] that it comes from "trusted third parties, including hosting companies, enterprises, and ISPs." But that's rather vague. Are CF, Google, and Quad9 some of those "hosting companies, enterprises, and ISPs"?

Just run Unbound locally or if you really don't want your ISP to snoop on your DNS traffic - on some VPS in a datacenter.
