Comments and Reviews
I tested this with https://canyoublockit.com/ and the Yahoo! page, and it performed quite poorly.
I set it up with the exact same filter lists as Zen ad-blocker, another client-wide ad blocker, which performed better.
I was hoping this could be a good combo DNS/adblocker, but unfortunately not. And it doesn't support anonymized relays through DNSCrypt.
A good alternative if for more technical oriented persons
