It's easy to block ads on an entire system DNS level, instead of using browser plugins.

  This way you're missing out on specific js patches for sites with hard to block ads (like YouTube)

    That's a special case, which can be solved by buying YouTube premium. For general ad-blocking, the DNS filters work great.

      What incentives does this enforce in the market? Strangling smaller players and reinforcing the dominant ones.

        "We understand some users don't want ads so to monetize our product we allow those users to pay and not see ads" Your response: "I want to keep my cake and eat it too." I have a solution for you, stop using YouTube if you feel so strongly that a video platform should be free to use. I'm paraphrasing in the quotes, they aren't real quotes...

    You install NextDNS from the App Store.
