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?

    Well I just have 3 devices, PC where I use Portmaster (and I am still learning to configure it all but I also enjoy blocking many shit), on phone I don't do anything to even bother to have an ad blocker (Fennec has ad block plugin already and OS is /e/ so no google anyway) and on my laptop… of course, I have Portmaster too. My SmartTV neither have ads, I do screencast or I use my own media server to watch stuff.
    Pi-Hole requires you to run a RPi 24/7, which is energy usage. If I wanted to block it via DHCP, I would use my OpenWrt router that is designed for this.
