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, based on past [issues](https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists/issues?q=author%3Ayokoffing) and [observations](https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists/discussions/1093):

## 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.

## 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).
* The best browser on paper may not work well in real world usage.
* 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).
