We recommend you remove the [NextDNS Ads & Trackers Blocklist](https://github.com/nextdns/blocklists/blob/main/blocklists/nextdns-recommended.json) and select the [minimum](https://old.reddit.com/r/nextdns/comments/1048xeg/do_you_use_nextdns_blocklist_as_the_primary/j33wnz2/?context=3) number of useful lists.
**Here are the suggested blocklists for each use case:**
#### Which blocklist should I use?
| **Blocklist** | **Use Case** |
A great question to ask is: "How much do I want to deal with the inconveniences of [false positives](https://csrc.nist.gov/glossary/term/false_positive)?"
Here are the suggested blocklists:

#### Why Hagezi?
[Hagezi](https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists) block ads, trackers, native device trackers, badware, and more. He maintains a sensible allowlist, handles false positives quickly, an communicates known issues to blocklists maintainers. Hagezi's primary DNS lists combine respected community blocklists like [OISD](https://oisd.nl/), [Steven Black](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts), [1Hosts](https://github.com/badmojr/1Hosts#safeguard-your-devices-against-pesky-ads-trackers-and-malware), [notrack](https://gitlab.com/quidsup/notrack#notrack), and [more](https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists/blob/main/usedsources.md#proplus).

### Should I pay for NextDNS?
For the rich features it provides, [NextDNS](https://nextdns.io/?from=xujj63g5) is very affordable at $19.90/year for unlimited devices. It pays for itself if it saves my family from a malicious incident.

### Why am I still seeing ads?
Not all ads can be blocked at the DNS level ([example](https://old.reddit.com/r/nextdns/comments/13urdda/ads_on_manga_sites/)).
