How does it compare to Opendns, which returns ad ridden results when
the domain cannot be resolved, and due to a strange bug in firefox
claims a particular website cannot be resolved and returns ads even if
it exists when you lose internet connectivity for a split second, as
often happens on a laptop?

Wow that wasn't even close to a sentence but more of a barely coherent
ramble.  Sorry
