Google's motivation, according to the company, is to both speed up Web browsing as well as provide enhanced security. "We believe that a faster DNS infrastructure could significantly improve the browsing experience for all web users," Prem Ramaswami, of Google's Public DNS Team, wrote in a blog post (http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/introducing-google-public-dns.html). "To enhance DNS speed but to also improve security and validity of results, Google Public DNS is trying a few different approaches that we are sharing with the broader web community."

Wonder if they'll eventually do filtering like OpenDNS?

Nice! I'll give it a try

8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4, in case anyone was too lazy to click the link.

I'm not sure I like the thought of Google knowing every website I go to. Even if my ISP does.

Just memorize the ip address of all your favorite websites.
