    or just NextDNS which doesn't even require anything to be installed

    For those who don’t know: DNS blockers can be sketchy unless you’re hosting it yourself. Something like a pihole that you set up would be fine, but external DNS services are almost guaranteed to be data-mining you even worse than the ads and trackers they’re blocking.

    It’s a little like free VPNs. The reputable ones cost money, because if you’re not the customer then you’re the product.

    that is fair, but your ISP is logging the DNS requests anyway, and NextDNS allows you to turn off logging.

    Edit: I also don't see how it's worse than ads and trackers, they can only see the domain names of the sites you visit.
