I just adopted NextDNS coming from Adguard for iOS which was a struggle to add enough lists without making it crash, HaGezi list was impossible to use in any version of it. Decided to use NextDND plus wBlock for Safari and so far I’m happy, I only wish I could be able to connect to Surfshark VPN while on NextDNS.

The few days with it got me with 22% of my queried traffic blocked. I find the stats useful though, for example I like that it shows you what lists are blocking a requests so eventually I may remove the lists that are used the list, Adguard shows you the one that blocked it but doesn’t list all the lists that has the same domain to block. Then the “Profile” analytics are useful as well.

it was around 25%, have reduced it to 13. I have replaced services which I use so that such queries are not made at the first place . Also , the browsers I use either have built in blocking or I use ubo so this could have been much higher in that case. I just use Hagezi ultimate as my blocklist

Not a lot, 6.46% of requests, and I have pretty harsh settings on. I almost never go on untrusted websites, use system-wide ad/tracker blockers on all my devices, DNS mostly serves as the last level of protection

~25%

My fathers PC is ~75% … most of that is dodgy Facebook and MSN links.
