### 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 four tiers of coverage:
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) **Balanced**: minimal breakage; prioritizes functionality over blocking; largely [set-and-forget](https://glosbe.com/en/en/set-and-forget) but you may need to allowlist occasionally
3) **Strict**: moderate breakage; prioritizes privacy over user experience; must [manage your allowlist](https://github.com/yokoffing/NextDNS-Config#allowlist-white_check_mark) regularly
4) **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)
2) **Basic**: rare breakage; prioritizes functionality over blocking; *very* forgiving
3) **Balanced**: minimal breakage; should not interfere with everyday browsing; largely [set-and-forget](https://glosbe.com/en/en/set-and-forget) but you may need to allowlist occasionally
4) **Strict**: moderate breakage; prioritizes privacy over user experience; must [manage your allowlist](https://github.com/yokoffing/NextDNS-Config#allowlist-white_check_mark) 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)
Here's a compliation of popular blocklists available in NextDNS:

| 1Hosts (Lite) | 1Hosts (Pro) | 1Hosts (Xtra) |
| oisd | NextDNS Ads & Trackers Blocklist | Goodbye Ads |

:bulb: The **Balanced** tier is recommended for the average user, based on my testing and user feedback.<sup>[1](https://old.reddit.com/r/nextdns/comments/s2gzc5/oisd_vs_1hostsminiliteproxtra/hsgmp5n/) [2](https://old.reddit.com/r/nextdns/comments/xoyyw2/nextdns_as_a_set_it_and_forget_it_solution/iq1k6tx/) [3](https://old.reddit.com/r/nextdns/comments/vuon2a/one_profile_for_lan_devices_another_profile_for/iffegc5/?context=2) [4](https://old.reddit.com/r/nextdns/comments/vn8olr/please_could_someone_recommend_me_a_good/ie5meel/?context=2) </sup>
