Your DNS adjustments by themselves won’t hide your online activity. To achieve anonymity, you’d require a comprehensive VPN that directs your traffic exclusively through their network.

Phentos refers exactly to what you intended. My main follow-up is understanding how Clourdflare DNS handles privacy. I’m still unsure about its specific functions. OrbitalBuzzsaw and Tor are both seen as problematic in my view—they’re overly restrictive for everyday use.

A bit too much, but Tor would be fine.

I combine VPN and Tor for added privacy sometimes.

Refers to directly connecting their DNS provider at 1.1.1.1 on a personal computer, rather than using it for broader internet infrastructure or hosting services.

May or may not be slightly faster than your ISP's DNS services. In terms of security I don't see a difference except that your ISP won't be serving DNS requests, which is kind of a non-factor if you care that much about security since they see your data anyway.

I'm focusing on privacy by using Cloudflare alone isn't enough, even with their logging and data anonymization features. While it prevents your ISP from responding to DNS queries through their servers, your DNS requests remain in plaintext. Anyone—including your ISP—could still inspect the traffic and see your name server activity. To truly protect your DNS traffic, secure those queries using a service like DNSCrypt Proxy before they leave your network. Cloudflare supports DOH (DNS over HTTPS), so you can combine it with DNSCrypt to encrypt your requests. This way, nothing is visible between you and Cloudflare.

Edit: I've been employing DNSCrypt-Proxy alongside Cloudflare at home for most of the past month. Since I already have a local server, I didn't need to set it up on every device; instead, I configured my DHCP server to point to my home server as the default DNS provider, ran DNSCrypt-Proxy there, and everything works seamlessly. Cached lookups are blazing fast, and the service uses only about 8MB of RAM with a cache size of 4096. Edited August 6, 2018 by Tabs

Yes, DNS encryption with 1.1.1.1 provides similar privacy benefits to a VPN.
