# Privacy :lock:
Privacy features block certain requests so that companies cannot track your information and browsing history.
Privacy is a [spectrum](https://blog.thenewoil.org/the-privacy-myth-binary-vs-spectrum). Similar to security protection, what you need varies on your [threat model](https://thenewoil.org/threatmodel.html), interest, and skillset. (You can watch [this](https://youtu.be/Wpkh-hfULgE) short video to understand the difference between security and privacy.)

### Blocklists <sup><sup>[1](https://github.com/nextdns/metadata/tree/master/privacy/blocklists)</sup></sup>
Blocklists are community generated lists that block ads and [trackers](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/what-you-should-know-about-web-tracking-and-how-it-affects-your-online-privacy-42935355525/). Filters can be categorized into five tiers of coverage:
1) **None**: no breakage; NextDNS still protects against malicious threats (à la [security settings](https://github.com/yokoffing/NextDNS-Config#security-cop)) but will allow ads and trackers
2) **Basic**: rare breakage; prioritizes functionality over blocking; *very* forgiving; ideal for router profiles
3) **Balanced:** minimal breakage; should not interfere with everyday browsing; may need to [allowlist](https://github.com/yokoffing/NextDNS-Config#allowlist-white_check_mark) occasionally
4) **Strict:** moderate breakage; prioritizes privacy over user experience; must manage your allowlist regularly
5) **Aggressive:** excessive breakage; use on a separate profile to [lockdown single-purpose devices](https://old.reddit.com/r/nextdns/comments/uqap3n/comment/i8q8alf/?context=3)
