The amount of settings your enable/disable does not affect your DNS latency.

### If I have a profile for my router and another profile for my device, which one will my device use?
The device will use the profile set by the NextDNS app or the installed [root CA](https://help.nextdns.io/t/g9hmv0a/how-to-install-and-trust-nextdns-root-ca). However, if the device has not been configured to use a separate profile, then it will use the wifi/router configuration.<sup>[1](https://old.reddit.com/r/nextdns/comments/yf4hnv/question_about_home_router_and_app_running_in/)</sup>

### Does NextDNS hide activity from my Internet Service Provider (ISP)?
[No](https://old.reddit.com/r/nextdns/comments/tavcgm/comment/i039u1r/?context=3). NextDNS is only concerned about DNS traffic. You would need a [quality](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cK4MQv-OwyM) [VPN](https://www.ivpn.net/blog/why-you-dont-need-a-vpn/) to hide all activity from your ISP.
### Can I block YouTube ads with NextDNS only?
[No, you cannot](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/how-do-i-block-ads-on-youtube/253/2) block first-party ads using only DNS-level blocking. You will need an adblocker.
### What browser should I use that has adblocking?
* [Brave](https://brave.com) is a great choice [if you prefer Chrome](https://youtu.be/VHwIyR6ca4o?t=249), want uninstrusive [fingerprint protection](https://brave.com/privacy-updates/4-fingerprinting-defenses-2.0/), and don't enjoy doing a lot of tweaking.<sup>[1](https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/Deviations-from-Chromium-(features-we-disable-or-remove)#what-chromium-features-are-removed-for-privacysecurity-reasons)</sup>
* [Firefox](https://mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new) with [uBlock Origin](https://addons.mozilla.org/blog/ublock-origin-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-ad-blocker)<sup>[1](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/About-%22Why-uBlock-Origin-works-so-much-better-than-Pi%E2%80%91hole-does%3F%22)</sup> or [Ghostery](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ghostery), and configured using [Betterfox](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox).
* [Safari](https://apple.com/safari) with [Ghostery](https://ghostery.com/ghostery-ad-blocker-safari) or [AdGuard](https://adguard.com/en/adguard-ios/overview.html).
* [Orion](https://browser.kagi.com) is a promising, [up-and-coming](https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/up-and-coming) browser for Apple devices with native adblocking.
Choosing a browser is about as intimate as [choosing a starter Pokémon](https://youtu.be/F_8htiBjTCY), so here's a few caveats:
* Note that just because one browser or content blocker looks like the best on paper doesn't mean it is in real world usage (e.g. [Brave](https://brave.com/) is a buggy mess with video playback on iOS.)
* Privacy best practices dictates that you use different browsers (or different browser profiles) for different areas of life: e.g. work, school, personal.
* Browsers are tools. I use a variety of browsers depending on what I need to do, but everyone will have a personal preference towards what their favorite is.
* The recommendations here are based on a combination of effectiveness, resource efficiency, features, and ease of use.
Here are the suggested browsers for each operating system:
