I read a bit about using a different DNS for Privacy and I think the best one should be quad9? Or is there anything better except self hosting a DNS?

That’s not true at all. If you’re after the fastest DNS for loading / response times then the ISP DNS would be ideal. For privacy you’d want one that can offer ad and tracking protection like NextDNS.
Okay, maybe I got the question wrong. If you care about content blocking, then you are right (though I’d prefer self-hosted resolvers like pi-hole or AdGuard Home over third party resolvers).
You can use pihole as your main resolver and NextDNS as your down stream resolver as well for layered protection. That’s what I do. Works well. NextDNS is free protection up to 300,000 queries a month. If you go over it just acts like any regular resolver. The paid plan is inexpensive too.
If you use the same or similar blocklist it does not provide additional protection though.
That’s true yes.
