        Can you elaborate a bit more on that? DNS blocking stops the ads from downloading, so it is saving network bandwidth & preserving privacy. Did I miss something?

          Well, not about the DNS blocking, that’s absolutely great but it can only block on a domain basis so ads from the same domain aka first party ads (E.g. Youtube ads) can’t be blocked using it.
