   What I recall seeing in other browsers are options to enable DNS   
   tunneling over HTTPS, not merely options to configure DNS.   
      
   If it's your system, you should be able to change the system-wide DNS   
   settings, to either a known public server or to your ISP.   
      
      
   (Do note that DNS should only affect the *name resolution* time. If it's   
   loading slower but is *not* resolving slower, I think it might be   
   something other than DNS?   
      
   (I can imagine some conditions could make this *be* DNS, but that'd   
   involve either consistently omitting part of the records so that one   
   nameserver always leads you to a slower-responding host when there are   
   multiple, or a DNS-powered MITM attack pointing you to a different host?   
      
   But someone with more DNS expertise will probably be able to clarify   
   this one a bit further.))
