This is a very important detail. Adblock in 2026 is necessary and DNS will transparently do a lot of that work for you. It isn't just about lightning fast lookups and five-nines uptime anymore.

For blocking, I would much rather run my own service.
I've been loving the Pihole setup I just set up. It uses Quad9 as the upstream provider and then I do all the blocking myself. I used to use NextDNS but this is so much better and free!
Technitium is also really good as a performant local blocker and recursive dns server. I have been running mine for years now and it is fast as well.
