# FAQ :question:
### How do I signup for NextDNS?
Click [here](https://nextdns.io/?from=xujj63g5)!
### If I have a profile for my router and another for my device running at the same time, which one will my device use?
The device will use the profile set by the NextDNS app or installed [root CA](https://help.nextdns.io/t/g9hmv0a/how-to-install-and-trust-nextdns-root-ca) on the device. Your device will use your wifi/router configuration if the device has not been configured to use a separate profile.<sup>[1](https://old.reddit.com/r/nextdns/comments/yf4hnv/question_about_home_router_and_app_running_in/)</sup>
### Can I block YouTube ads with NextDNS only?
[No, you can't](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/how-do-i-block-ads-on-youtube/253/2) block first-party ads using only DNS-level blocking.
[No, you can't](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.
### Do I still need an adblocker with NextDNS? <sup>[1](https://help.nextdns.io/t/x2hzbps/using-nextdns-why-is-ublock-origin-still-catching-lots-of-ads)</sup>
Yes. On desktops, [Firefox](https://www.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/) is highly recommended:
* [Cosmetic filters](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Does-uBlock-Origin-block-ads-or-just-hide-them%3F#cosmetic-filters) to hide first-party ads (e.g., [YouTube ads](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/how-do-i-block-ads-on-youtube/253)), [ad-placeholders](https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r33005057-How-to-block-the-spaces-taken-up-by-blocked-ads), web [annoyances]((https://old.reddit.com/r/nextdns/comments/t8qn8c/comment/hzqrrfa/?context=3)), etc.
* [Block DNS requests](https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/l7xetb/network_priority_for_firefoxs_enhanced_tracking/gle2mqn/?web2x=&context=3) from being sent in the first place ([Firefox only](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dashboard:-Settings#disable-prefetching)) <sup>[1](https://help.nextdns.io/t/x2hzbps/using-nextdns-why-is-ublock-origin-still-catching-lots-of-ads)
* Read the full list of advantages [here](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/About-%22Why-uBlock-Origin-works-so-much-better-than-Pi%E2%80%91hole-does%3F%22)
### What browser should I use that has adblocking?
* [Brave](https://brave.com) is a great choice, [especially 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://www.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> and configured using [Betterfox](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox).
* [Orion](https://browser.kagi.com/) is a promising, [up-and-coming](https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/up-and-coming) browser for Apple devices.
### Does NextDNS hide activity from my Internet Service Provider (ISP)?
[No](https://www.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.
Here are the suggested browsers for each operating system:
| Browser | Windows | macOS | Linux | iOS | Android |
|:-------:|:-------:|:-----:|:-----:|:---:|:-------:|
| Brave | x | x | x | x | x |
| Firefox | x | x | x | | |
