Nah, apparently it's completely valid to end IPv6 addresses with a 0. And I haven't done much research, but it seems IPv6 really doesn't have network addresses the way IPv4 does.

Also you can ping them and they reply.

You can have .0 as a host. 10.0.1.0/23 is a perfectly valid host, same with 10.0.0.255/23

9.9.9.9 has twice the latency for me. Why pick quad9 over, say, 1.1.1.2?

Twice the latency for DNS results? Care to give concrete examples? DNS is usually very fast. Twice as long as very fast is still pretty quick, in my opinion.

I'm always on VPN, so latencies add up.

dig +stats @1.1.1.1 www.google.com | grep '[\d]+ msec'

gives me 10-20ms using a nearby vpn server

dig +stats @9.9.9.9 www.google.com | grep '[\d]+ msec'

gets me 30-50 ms, and not rarely >100ms.

Plus DNS caching... I do DOT or DOH (forget which, setup years ago) from my router's local DNS server without any noticeable latency.

kinda hate how they don't provide dns with dnssec but no malware blocking (i prefer my dns to always just resolve stuff regardless if it's "malware" or not)
also their default dns does has ECS disabled (they have an alternative one tho)
