[QUOTE="TairikuOkami, post: 1038784, member: 61892"] OK, I got tired waiting for someone else to do it, so I did a quick test, because I wondered myself, if NextDNS is still the best in malware filtering. I focused on free DNS, so only free ControlID. I am using NextDNS on 4 devices and it hardly reaches 200k, so yes, it is sufficiently free. I tested using DoH on LibreWolf to avoid using browser's blocking features, like googlesafebrowsing, though it can be included in DNS.
