Do google's public dns servers respect privacy?
sometimes, dns resolving might not occur via tor, due to leaks.
While running Tails on Virtual Machine, will it not be safe to configure /etc/resolv.conf of base to have Google public dns in case of leaks?
Not in Tails.
It'll be safe since Tails will prevent the in the clear connections to Google's DNS from ever leaving your computer (so you will break DNS, but since you don't leak anything it is safe). If I understand what you suggest correctly, you want to enforce DNS leaks, which makes me wonder if you actually know what your are talking about (no offense).
If you are the thread starter, you wrote:
Let's say that Google claims that they do. Why should we trust what they say? Why not use Tor's DNS resolution which is designed to provide privacy?
