### 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/). They can be categorized into various levels of coverage:
|
||||
1) **None**: no breakage; true [set-and-forget](https://glosbe.com/en/en/set-and-forget); NextDNS still protects against known malicious threats (see [Security](https://github.com/yokoffing/NextDNS-Config#security-cop)) but will allow ads and trackers; use for routers
|
||||
2) **Basic**: unlikely breakage; lenient protection; allows for many ads and tracker when compared to other lists

|
||||
2) **Basic**: rare breakage; lenient protection; very forgiving towards trackers in comparison to other lists
|
||||
3) **Balanced:** minimal breakage; usually doesn't interfere with user experience; allowlist occasionally
|
||||
4) **Strict:** moderate breakage; prioritizes privacy over user experience; will need to build a personal allowlist
|
||||
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)

From my testing and user feedback, **Balanced** is a great tier to use if you're trying DNS-level blocking for the first time.

Add all the device brands that you use. There's no advantage in adding brands you don't have; however, there’s no disadvantage in adding unused brands, either.
