Family-friendly DNS content blocking now added to our Encrypted DNS service

"We update our DNS block lists weekly, as can be seen on our open-source Github repository from where the servers update"

github.com/mullvad/dns-blockli

You can also use it on all OSes and browsers

Using a DNS tracking & ad blocking list along with new manifest V3 extensions you can block most things

V3 extensions are still gonna block ads and trackers they are just limited on what they can do now compared to what the could do with V2 extensions

And obvs you can use other DNS services like CTRL-D

I'm just using mullvad as an example and IMO its one of the best free DNS blocking services - you don't need a mulvard account to use it or use mulvard's VPN

CTRL-D is awesome at blocking and offers a free service but paid service is needed for most blocking you'd need - other services are kinda similar - Mullvad is IMO the best free option
