How does it affect mobile device apps, like Youtube and those freemium games that ask you to watch ads to get stuff?

I've been using it since a few days ago, just for kicks. I mean I go to mostly the same sites frequently, so there aren't even tons of DNS lookups for me anymore, but I haven't really noticed a difference anyhow. So if you want the same performance with more security, go for it. But I've been warned that 1.1.1.1 has been historically unrouteable, so some companies use it internally, which may mess things up. But I think that's not much of a concern.

I mean I don't really think DNS lookup takes that much time at all either way. The huge majority of web loading time comes from actually fetching resources, and DNS lookups are cached, so it doesn't matter much after a while anyway.
