If there is strong demand I could put together a solution sor home networks that does not use a third party resolver, i.e., no tracking whatsoever. It could be run from an SD card or USB stick entirely in memory, i.e. no install needed. All you need is an extra computer; old is fine. As for the "breaking" some websites, it depends on what you block. Speaking for myself, if blocking doubleclick.net makes one out of thousands hang, then that is acceptable. In fact it's desired because I want to know about such sites. What kind of website would do that? Doubleclick offers zero value to the user. I like this aspect of DNS blocking. Also it's easy to "whitelist" or "blacklist" certain subdomains if that's what you need to do. Simply a matter of editing a text file, and this can be automated. As for the comments about what effect this would have if practiced by the masses, I think it would bring these ad-supported search engines and social media sites to a day of reckoning. Users would have all the power. At least one search engine claims it's focused on users. This would put that statement to the test. Users in control. As it should be.
