## How do I signup for NextDNS?
Click [here](https://nextdns.io/?from=xujj63g5)!
## 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. NextDNS 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.<sup>[1](https://www.reddit.com/r/nextdns/comments/14nsfhv/comment/jq982bi/?context=3) [2](https://www.reddit.com/r/nextdns/comments/13urdda/ads_on_manga_sites/)</sup> You will need an [ad blocker](https://github.com/yokoffing/NextDNS-Config#i-need-a-browser-with-ad-blocking-which-one-should-i-choose) to block what's leftover.
This is because not all ads come from third-party domains; some ads come directly from the site you're visiting, like [YouTube](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/how-do-i-block-ads-on-youtube/253/2). DNS blockers [stop](https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists/discussions/1030#discussioncomment-5884270) the resolution of a domain, and content blockers filter page content. Click [here](https://github.com/yokoffing/NextDNS-Config/tree/main#i-need-a-browser-with-ad-blocking-which-one-should-i-choose) to easily install a lightweight ad blocker.
## I need a browser with ad blocking. Which one should I choose?
Choosing a browser is about as intimate as [choosing a starter Pokémon](https://youtu.be/F_8htiBjTCY), so here's a few caveats:
* The best browser on paper may not work well in real world usage (e.g., [Brave](https://brave.com/) is wonky with video playback on iOS).
* Browsers are tools! Use a variety of browsers depending on what you need to do.
* You should use various browsers (or browser profiles) for different areas of life (e.g., work, school, personal).
We based the recommendations below on a combination of effectiveness, resource efficiency, features, and ease of use.
Here are the suggested browsers for each operating system (OS):
### Mobile
| OS | Browser | Content Blocker |
|---|---|---|
| iOS | [Safari](https://www.apple.com/safari) | [AdGuard](https://adguard.com/en/adguard-ios/overview.html) or [Ghostery](https://www.ghostery.com/ghostery-ad-blocker-safari) |

## Does the amount of features enabled affect the speed of NextDNS?<sup>[1](https://github.com/yokoffing/NextDNS-Config/issues/12#issue-1465457977) [2](https://www.reddit.com/r/nextdns/comments/135utai/comment/jilbus8/?=&context=3)</sup>
The number of settings you toggle on will not affect your DNS latency.

## Does NextDNS hide activity from my Internet Service Provider (ISP)?
[No](https://www.reddit.com/r/nextdns/comments/tavcgm/comment/i039u1r/?context=3). [NextDNS](https://nextdns.io/?from=xujj63g5) is only concerned about DNS traffic.
