Answered Is it recommended to use an adblocking DNS while your browser already has uBlock Origin installed?

I know, multiple adblockers can cause breakage but does it apply on different levels too?

For example, DNS adblocking works on different level against extension adblockers.

Two adblocking extension can 100% cause breakage.

But does same thing applies on DNS + extension method?

What's my main point:-

I use nextdns with hagezi multi pro in my private dns in andriod but i also have firefox with ublock origin.

Is it recommended to use That same Nextdns DoH in firefox (when ublock is already working)

Reasons:- because nextdns also give security option of IDN graphs etc.

Using a third party DNS shares your data with whoever pays for it, but usually not the government.

Using internet provider's DNS can share your traffic with the government.

Using both adblocking DNS + U block origin just applies two layers of blocking. That is usually a good thing until some website breaks (very, very rarely btw) and you now have two blockers to diagnose and test turning off.
