I use KaBlock! Despite its silly name its great. Open Source and thanks to Safari content blocker security model I can trust it.

1Blocker is great, although it is paid.

Yeah, 1Blocker running on Safari and NextDNS connection in the background means I never see ads these days.

Thanks for the NextDNS tip, it looks amazing. I was about to set up Pi-hole today but this looks better.

AdGuard DNS is easy to set up and free. I went with it because there are 5 of us at home all the time due to COVID and I didn't know if we would hit the NextDNS limit of 300,000 queries a month.

10,000 queries a day sounds like a lot but our router (Orbi) isn't doing any caching so maybe it's not.

AdGuard DNS doesn't let you have any configuration. My college student had to change her DNS settings once because an app was being blocked as an ad blocker.

I miss uBlock Origin as well but AdGuard has really proven itself to be good thankfully.
