Key Takeaways
FULL TRANSCRIPT
ANDROID MAN: How can you speed up the internet on your smartphone? I'll show you this hidden setting that you must enable and your internet will speed up. All websites and any movies you want to watch will load faster.
Accessing Chrome DNS Settings
ANDROID MAN: Let's go to the Google Chrome browser, my friends. Enter here. In the top right corner, you'll see three dots. Click on settings. When you enter your browser settings, there's an option called privacy and security. Go here. Scroll down slightly to the use secure DNS section. Go here. And here you will find the DNS setting that needs to be changed.
Understanding and Changing DNS Options
ANDROID MAN: It's set to default. Most likely yours will be set to custom like this. Click on this arrow please and choose one of two options: Google Public DNS or Cloudflare 1.1.1.1. These are two DNS options that will speed up your internet.
What is DNS in general? DNS is a conduit, a mediator between you and the website. Choose a faster conduit like Google Public DNS or Cloudflare.
If you select Clean Browsing, many sites won't open, especially 18 plus sites. But if you want to enable it for your kids, go ahead so they don't see any explicit photos or videos. If you're an adult, I recommend enabling Google Public DNS. It's a pretty fast DNS.
Testing the Results
ANDROID MAN: Visit the site and check. Everything will work quickly, loading very fast after enabling this setting. And now when you visit any sites through the Google Chrome browser, everything will load much faster than when you had the default custom setting enabled. Go ahead, enable it, friends, and definitely use it.
