DNS Adblocking

[Sunny-Wolf]

in the web browsers section, I think there should be a mention of DNS adblockers and a recommendation to use those over extensions.

DNS ad blockers suffer less issues than than extensions, namely they don't weaken the browser's security, aren't 3rd party code running in the browser and don't hold a privileged position in the browser.

Yes I think that's a good idea.

ignoring the security benefits DNS adblockers suck at blocking ads compared to extensions, so if this does get changed maybe explain that they dont block anywhere near as many adverts such as on youtube as adblocker extensions like ublock origin

This is what my main concern is. I don't see how DNS adblockers provide a significant advantage over extension-based adblockers, whereas the downsides are pretty significant.

I think the only real advantage is if you're doing it on a network, in any case we have Adguard Home and the Pi-Hole listed.
