> Despite how much I like Cloudflare and this specific service, I want to block trackers at the DNS level. 1.1.1.1 is probably the most reliable and fastest resolver there is on earth, but that does not fit my use case either.
Isn't this a bit poorly timed, considering the recent Cloudflare DNS announcement?
> In the coming months, we will provide the ability to define additional configuration settings for 1.1.1.1 for Families. This will include options to create specific whitelists and blacklists of certain sites. You will be able to set the times of the day when categories, such as social media, are blocked and get reports on your household's Internet usage.

- rodgerd 7y agoCloudFlare's blocking appears to be focused on, say, gay rights groups, while allowing access to StormFront. I'm not sure that fits the needs of OP, or indeed most families.

They made a mistake, promptly realized it, put fixes in place, and updated their procedures. Then, their CEO wrote a post apologizing. Whatever your view is on Cloudflare, it is not fair to say that they didn't react properly to this specific issue and I don't think it is fair to criticize them (again, for this specific issue).
- aaomidi 7y agoI doubt they're going to support adblocking as a first class citizen.
- bjtitus 7y agoWhy? Their business model doesn't involve advertising at all.
- schlotzisk 7y agoYeah. No. Many advertisers rely on Cloudflare. If Cloudflare would choose to block ads, I'd imagine that lots of folks would ditch them and use some other DNS provider instead.
