On android, I've had trouble with adguard.dns constantly kicking my phone off my wifi. It did great with blocking ads everywhere, but I'm done with reconnecting so often, and I have less data available on my phone plan these days to fill in.
I'm looking for something I can fill in this spot and it just works
What other addresses have you used that consistently block ads?

Ok, what do I enter here in order to use that?

First go to https://my.nextdns.io/
Then register
And finally, follow the installation manual
That's all you have to do, it's already configured to block ads so you don't need to worry about that

You can do this with AdGuard too.

I recommend using an IP address for your DNS lookups

Just want to add that Mullvad DNS may have high latency depending on where you're browsing from, slowing down your browsing experience. Their public DNS servers are pretty sparse, unlike their VPN servers.

mullvad is fine

Run a DNS benchmark tool that compares their response times for your device

Would I do that through an app or a website?

I use dns.watch on pihole. Been working good so far!

Well, I don't have pihole, but I'm sure this will be helpful for someone!

Mullvad, or the best one is your own DNS.
