Fedora and fallback DNS servers

The IP address you are using as the source of the DNS query is personal information, it identifies you. The request you are sending can also be privacy sensitive - in effect, when using a webbrowser, you are sending your entire browsing history real-time to these DNS providers. Who are providing this service for free. Why?

The GDPR does not limit transmission of IP addresses. It does, however, require that whoever provides this service, does not use the information gathered for any other purpose than providing the service. Do google and/or cloudflare have a GDPR statement somewhere? If so, fine. No problem. If not, why not?

I think that in general, in the EU it's better to use your ISPs DNS servers. In the US, it's probably better to use Google / Cloudflare DNS as your own ISP is probably worse, both quality-wise and privacy-wise.
