Final Thoughts:

Currently, the Baidu DNS official website displays a Beta label, indicating it is in the public testing phase. Its stability is not yet fully confirmed. Additionally, it only provides one IP address (the backup DNS in the screenshot above still uses 114), whereas Alibaba's public DNS offers two IP addresses. Therefore, it is recommended for users who enjoy experimenting and trying new technologies.
