So a third company has jumped on the DNS bandwagon, joining Google and Comodo. Seems like we have more choices than ever with regards to who we trust out Internet browsing history to.

There are more DNS providers than Norton, Comodo and Google. There is OpenDNS, ClearCloud DNS (still beta), ScrubIT and DynDNS.com Internet Guide (DynDNS provides DNS infrastructure for Norton DNS).

I didn't know about OpenDNS and ClearlCloud, clearly there are more players in the game. Thank you for the info~

Mm, isn't DynDNS the service that dialup users ...use to give themselves some sort of static web address?
