Actually i mean, is anyone here only using dns services like controld, Nextdns, Adguard, etc. just because they show the blocked queries even though you know these dns blockers doesn’t do much more than blocking ads + malicious domains (unreliable) and provide parental controls ?
Just a doubt how blocked domains count provide a sense of protection when actually it is really just an illusion. (I believe when trackers are cookies, it is impossible to count them all and modern website have even more trackers than these dns blockers can detect and block).
Also in whotracksme you can see how much trackers in a website when visiting that website you can’t see that much connection blocked or even detected.
What are your opinions ? Is this all wrong and the blocked queries actually matter and accurate ?
When I was still on Windows I used TinyWall and I would just refresh and stare dreamily at the page showing all those blocked connections from Microsoft services to who the hell knows. It was very therapeutic 🥲
Especially considering that absolutely everyone was telling me to use Windows Defender because “it’s good now I swear” but it wouldn’t allow me to block most Microsoft stuff…
