It's not the same thing at all. Mullvad DNS blocks all ads across the system.

I've been using NextDNS [0] for a long time. It's worth the price because you can set up all kinds of different blocking profiles and have different ones on different devices, allows you to have overrides for local network items (or internals like on a Tailnet, Pangolin, Wireguard, etc) and a lot more. The ad blocking ends up working so well a lot not only are ads blocked on web pages but it works with some streaming audio ads as well as VoD that has ads injected. Highly recommend.

Up until the developers roll their host files into their app. That's why a pihole doesn't stop ads when you use the YouTube app.

Look, I still run AdGuard on my router, but it's not the same thing
