[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 97327, post: 1041319"] 1.1.1.2 is 1.1.1.1 plus malware protection. I also don't understand why people who are interested in security use 1.1.1.1 and don't use 1.1.1.2 Blocking malware URL's at the DNS is the best place to block them. Given the huge number of website there are in the world a few million URL's to check after finding the correct IP address for the domain name for you will might take an extra millisecond or so. Also because it is done at the server network of the DNS, it does not interfere with anything on your PC. I also don't understand people adding malware block lists to their adblocker. Default update period of blocklists is often set to 48 or 24 hours. Given the life span of most phishing/malware URL's that makes those lists as effective as adding fingerprints of 10 year old malware to your AV-blacklist data base. On top of that most adblockers restructure the sequential block lists into optimized b-tree like structures. So even when you set the update interval of your blocklists to one hour, the amount of time needed to optimize a malware blocklist of say 100.000 entries (uBO calls it taking a selfie) is huge compared the one millisecond you might lose when using an URL blacklist with maybe 10 million bad URL's at the DNS. Also the numbers game speaks clearly in the advantage of DNS (millions at the DNS some even AI supported against maybe 100 thousend in the malware blocklist of your adblocker).
