Why use 1.1.1.1 instead of an ISP’s resolver?
The main reasons to switch to a third-party DNS resolver are security and performance. ISPs do not always use strong encryption on their DNS or support DNSSEC, which makes their DNS queries vulnerable to data breaches and exposes users to threats like man-in-the-middle attacks. In addition, ISPs often use DNS records to track their users’ activity and behavior. These resolvers don’t always have great speeds and when they get overloaded by heavy usage they become even more sluggish. If there is enough traffic on the network, an ISP’s recursor could stop answering requests altogether. In some cases attackers deliberately overload an ISP’s recursors, resulting in a denial-of-service.
It won't speed up your downloads but will let the download start earlier.
For each website address we enter in the browser such as www.digit.in there is an IP (internet protocol) address in the format of xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa (eg. 236.76.167.5) which is the actual address computer understands. So your browser has to lookup the corresponding machine address for each webaddress for the site to load. This service is provided by DNS servers. Generally your ISP provides this service. There are also independent providers like Open DNS, Google, Quad9, Cloudflare etc. Because they have better servers nearer to you, their service is sometimes faster.
For many things involving a webaddress this translation/lookup has to happen. Hence a service that provides quicker DNS lookup improves your browsing.
