Here! I posted this comparison on reddit a while ago:
In terms of the actual DNS servers, they both use the same technology there. The primary difference is the starting page for Switchbru is dns.switchbru.com, and the starting page for browseDNS is browsedns.net. (The LaneChange redirect URL after DNS resolution is different).
For general browsing, you'll have faster web access by choosing the region that is physically closest:
- 45.55.142.122 ("Classic Switchbru) is located in New York, USA, along the east coast.
- 45.55.112.11 (BrowseDNS US) is in California, USA, along the west coast.
- 46.101.65.164 (BrowseDNS UK) is in England, UK, and likely fairs better for that side of the world.
In terms of the start page, the Switchbru Dashboard landing page allows you to store bookmarks and quickly access them or your chats. BrowseDNS does not yet have bookmarks, but does have a chat that's easier to visit on another device (like phone or PC).
In both cases, each page provides a link to the other one, so using the other page is always an option. The main drive with browsedns.net is to have a more "regular" web presence, and be less associated with homebrew or hacking communities.The last difference between the two is that Switchbru DNS explicitly blocks Wii U and Switch Nintendo telemetry/update servers, which has utility for homebrew users.
