> One thing I miss with 1.1.1.1 and WARP is DNS based ad blocking and filtering.

Isn't that a lot less useful today anyway, given the new trend of serving ads through the same domain as the content you want to see? Why not just go all in on uBlock Origin?

Because DNS based adblocking goes further than ads blocked in the browser. Its also effective in mobile apps, and other devices such as Smart TVs where it is not possible to have uBlock do the filtering.

I agree its effectiveness is wearing down as ads are served via the first party domain, but it still does make a difference.

Pihole still catches 95+% of ads for me.
