This is the way. No need to be using apps that drain your battery even more.

Does that block YouTube ads?

DNS doesn’t have the capability to block YouTube ads. You’ll need an adblocker or use YouTube frontends such as Piped to avoid those cancerous ads.

Is there an ELI5 for what NextDNS is/does? I downloaded and enabled it because I see it recommended often enough, but I have no idea what it does for me or if there's anything else I need to be doing with it.

NextDNS is a privacy respecting DNS service. You can learn more HERE. If you’re unable to self host your own PiHole or Adguard Home, it’s the next best option.

Even if you are able to self host Pi-hole or AGH, NextDNS is a great option because you can use it even when you're not at home. I use it on all of my mobile devices.

Technitium that I host myself. Works like a charm.

No apps, just use a DNS server that blocks ads. I like Control D. They have servers with many major blocklists and can be used with DoH, DoT, or just old unencrypted DNS if needed.

First time I hear about Control D. Have you by any chance used it and NextDNS? If yes: Which one do you think is better and wyh?
