I don't get why people use 1.1.1.1 8.8.8.8 etc, for more then debugging. Why tell Google et.al about every site you visit !? And get slightly slower, less accurate and less resilient DNS lookups ...

Because in certain countries the ISP has to respect the legal regulations and so the DNS server provided/defined by each provider will block/redirect certain web sites. These could be torrent trackers, subtitle distribution sites, political and/or religious sites and so on... In some parts of the world alternate DNS servers allow people to access all sites :-)

Not to mention that some ISPs redirect users to pages full of ads when a domain doesn't exist or use DNS to MITM users and inject ads into pages.
