Maybe there is something about there service that I don't understand. To
quote from their FAQ

How we're free: We make money just like Google and Yahoo

People frequently ask us how we can offer such a fantastic service
without charging a dime. OpenDNS makes money the same way Google and
Yahoo do - by showing relevant ads when we show you search results. Our
number one priority is to deliver the best possible user experience,
which means you won't find any pop-ups, pop-unders, or anything like
that around here.

So how is it still free if I can turn off the ads?
