What adblocking DNS do you recommend and why? Or do you not recommend one? (self.softwareoptions)

The benefits is that every device is safer and with way less ads but some sites may break so I dont know

Also self-hosting AdGuard, I like it since I can add any sites to my whitelist/blacklists.

At home, on top of AdGuard, I still use Ublock Origin, Ghostery, NoScript, Decentraleyes, and Privacy Badger, a VPN and a privacy focused browser like Firefox or Vivaldi (even though all this much would actually makes a unique fingerprint of my browser...)

I will admit that NoScript is a pain having to manually approve JavaScript on websites before they will work properly, but its also eye opening.

For mobile, anything I'm not running through my home WiFi I use AdGuard's public DNS in addition to a VPN.

I used to have noscript but simply too many sites I use JavaScript so I don't have it anymore.
