    How long did it take to un-break basically every website? I tried doing this and it made pretty much every site that had this problem unusable. I could never find a sweetspot that only blocks ads and let’s legitimate traffic through; and it caused issues with my partner’s work portals.

      It weirdly didn’t break every website? It said it might, but it ended up not. No idea how, or what I did. The only issue has been my room mate plays mobile games and some of those give ads for a benefit, so they can’t watch those.

      I’m using HaGeZi’s block list (https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists). Not saying it’ll work for everyone, but it doesn’t cause me any issues, even on the strictest one.

          Ultimate, the strictest one. I remember picking one down, but just pulled it up and it is the Ultimate blocklist

      Start with the default block list. That shouldn’t break everything, if it does give examples of the problems and the sites and I’m sure we can find a solution.
