@oklol123 ok???
@Xx_halopro420_xX you asked the difference

The DNS servers are running the same software, so from a technical perspective they are very similar. As others stated, the main difference is which landing page you get.
Switchbru:
45.55.142.122 - the original server we've been running since 2017, located in NY, USA
This server also provides update blocking.
Info page: https://switchbru.com/dns/browseDNS:
45.55.112.11 - new server located in California, USA
46.101.65.164 - new server located in the UK
Info page: https://browsedns.net/topic/8/browsedns-enable-access-to-the-open-internetBoth landing pages also link to each other, so you can use whichever server one is fastest. In theory, that's the one that's physically closest to your location, however there might be other networking factors that make it not that straightforward.

tldr: Switchbru/BrowseDNS both use LaneChange to handle the landing page redirect, but for most use-cases (that don't need to handle different user preferences) just a DNS server that redirects to an HTTP page that then links to Google / other sites will do.
