Hi, Rethink DNS is already fantastic, and I just discovered one of Rethink DNS's unique features: by clicking the simple/security full and extra button in:

https://rethinkdns.com/configure

We get a super-powerful DNS that has the rare ability to block malware without false positives, according to my own tests and experiments!

Yes, there are several well-known anti-malware/phishing/cryptominer DNSs, but the problem is they're too aggressive and there are false positives:

For example, Quad9 DNS: Sony has already filed a complaint to force Quad9 DNS blocking some sites, and Quad9 is trying to resist despite the lawsuit....despite this, perhaps because of AI, I noticed Quad9 blocks safe sport streaming and anime streaming platforms, for example, the first media player in:

https://french-anime.com/animes-vf/1678-my-hero-academia-vigilantes.html

Same for Cleanbrowsing DNS, DNS0, CIRA DNS : Sadly, all these well-known anti-malware DNSs block content that I consider safe, like video streaming on the French Anime website.....

Fortunately, I found an anti-malware DNS without false positives. It's Control DNS, but we have to choose the malware blocklist ourselves. Or a custom DNS with a malware/phishing blocklist? The downside is choosing the crypto miner blocking blocklist is costly...

So Control D is the only powerful anti-malware DNS that doesn't block streaming videos from the French Anime site. And also, the pleasant surprise is that our beloved Rethink DNS, when we choose Security Blocklist Full and Extra, doesn't block streaming videos!!

The potential of Rethink DNS is enormous and i think needs to be further highlighted so that the project becomes even more popular and gains donations, subscriptions, and media coverage. So my suggestion, please, is to further highlight Rethink DNS's great general security blocklist, which blocks malware crypto miners without false positives and without blocking streaming sites by informing users that Rethink DNS has no false positives/censorship unlike many competing DNSs! Thank you!

I have a question, please : we hope the Anti-Crypto Miner Blocklist is integrated into the general Security and Extra blocklist ? This will allow Rethink DNS to distinguish itself from Control D DNS !
