I find the Quad9 entries in the new DNS List to be a bit misleading...
The first one (recommended by Quad9) is labeled "Safe", has a description about safety, and has a dedicated link to ASUS and Quad9 Safe DNS Service.
The second one is labeled "Privacy-respecting", has a description about privacy, and has a dedicated link to Quad9 and ASUS Private DNS Service.
As I understand them, the ONLY difference in service is that the second one is ECS-enabled, which allows some end-user IP address data privacy "leakage" to improve routing. Given that, the second one is less private and no less safe than the first one. Both offer the same threat blocking/security/safety.
I think ASUS should clean this up.
