Does anyone know of good alternatives that also block ads? Seems Quad9 doesn't.

Been using them for years. The price is reasonable too. It’s the only way I found to block ads everywhere on iOS (except the YT app, Mullvad’s Albania wireguard did that)

The price is so reasonable, I think the risk is that you’re paying mainly with your data?

they block duolingo

good. Babbel is superior

nextdns.io might be an option

https://adguard-dns.io/kb/general/dns-providers/ have a list of options that some of them have ad blocker

Trivial to self-host, and gives you full control of blocking.

Several (European) alternatives are available: https://eualternative.eu/categories/public-dns/

Since this seems to be the thread for public DoH providers, this article is probably worth mentioning (it can sort by DoH, DoT, DoQ, etc support).

I'm using numa(https://github.com/razvandimescu/numa) for ad filtering and odoh mode for privacy (shameless plug)

So this is something to use instead of pihole?

I have a router with adguard on it so I can locally filter everything.

Sometimes you need to unblock things to ensure something works properly, so having it be local is better in my opinion.

What about Cloudflare’s public DNS? https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/setup/#1111-for-fa...

  1.1.1.2
  1.0.0.2
  2606:4700:4700::1112
  2606:4700:4700::1002

Cloudflare DNS does not block ads, it only blocks malware

For Cloudflare's definition of "malware"
