I've not used it, but Adguard also has an ad blocking DNS[0].

Used Adguard for about 2.5 years, and literally switched to NextDNS yesterday after reading this article. I've got a blog post about DNS ad-blocking [0], updating stuff now and then. I hope it points out some of the different features and reasons to use one over the other. Let me know what you think!

You've not read the article either. Author was using adguard dns for a year before switching out


Adguard DNS works fine out of the box, but you can't configure it and more importantly have no way to whitelist sites. If you block ads you _will_ have page damage and no way to fix it with that service. Nextdns solves that problem.
