[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 918459, member: 82776"] It is great NextDNS uses Google and 48 sources, but URL blocking is a numbers game, so good sources monitor many requests, typically a) large DNS networks (e.g. Cisco Umbrella) b) Search engines (they see with their crawlers and search engine a massive volume of web requests) c) Devices with OS-related/provided malware protection (e.g. Windows) d) UTM corporate router vendors associated with an AV (e,g, Fortinet and Sophos) e) Antivirus companies with many installs (e.g. Bitdefender, Norton/Avira and Avast/AVG). These are the sources which really beef up the URL blacklist and Traffic Intrusion protection, so the NextDNS URL blocklist protection probably comes from 99% of 1 source (Google) and 1% of the other 48 sources. I told you so and will do it again: my URL black hole is bigger than yours :) [USER=85179]@security123[/USER] I am using your list in Edge, inspired by [USER=71262]@oldschool[/USER] . I just added a youtube adblocker which i only enabled on https://*.youtube.com Works okay so far. [/QUOTE]
