I use Pi-Hole and works great. I’ve heard about AdGuard and seems the same thing as PiHole, but you have to install an app/extension. Everyone in this community recommend NextDNS. Whats the difference between them?

    Adguard is a VPN. And does what essentially Mullvad does by sending ads or malware or anything they have marked malicious into a void. Pi-hole works very similarly.

    NextDNS works similarly by funnelling all your requests through their DNS which has been set up to remove some of the bad stuff out there. Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) also has a similar service (though they just stick to malware): https://avoidthehack.com/best-dns-privacy
