Can you please provide more details about the DNS ad blocker? I don't know anything about it but it sounds intriguing.

People will mention PiHole and that's a neat solution if you want to maintain a server.

If you don't, https://adguard-dns.io/en/public-dns.html lets you point your DNS servers at AdGuard and let them block ads for you. No maintenance required.

One caveat: once in a while, like maybe once a year, my wife or I encounter a site that AdGuard blocks and we need to set our DNS back to "normal" for things to work. But you'll probably have the same issue with PiHole, which relies on lists of spammers or other undesirables.

PS: no relationship with AdGuard other than happily using their service.

Thanks. I will check this out
see pihole, et al.
