Not me. When Firefox introduced it, it defaulted to Cloudflare. No thanks. They're as evil as Facebook, if not worse.
These days, I use a Pi-Hole with Unbound as the resolver. It's resolves my DNS requests throught root and authoritative servers only, so no single party has a log of my DNS requests. It also uses DNSSEC for extra security.

Yep, that is next on my todo list. In autumn or so I hope my setup will be similar.

I installed one on Raspberry Pi 3B (using Raspbian), and one on Orange Pi Zero (with Armbian). Both work well!

One potentential pitfall: If you enable DNSSEC, it's important that your system keeps proper time, otherwise DNS lookups will fail. This can of course be an issue with SBC's that have no hardware RTC.
