what happened to Energized ultimate?
their latest commit emptied the README.md file from their official repo. See https://github.com/EnergizedProtection/block/commit/8bc981b5b1e813ab07ea80cbb08e4b42643d9b6e

Use uBlock Origin to assist yourself in your glorious endeavors this NNN
The most obvious thing you can do is to use a custom filter. There are several great filterlists out there but I know most of them are just not enough for some of you degenerates out there who have went a bit too deep in the spicy rabbit hole. One of the best filterlists you can use is by the Energized Protection. Here's the direct link to Energized Porn filter in adblock format. Just copy and paste this in Filter lists > Custom > Import, click 'Apply Changes', refresh the page and click 'Update now'.
- Do you know of any "block lists" in the "rpz" format?
- YSK that you can block u/RealTacoBell to remove the Pete Davidson eating a taco ads

I'm not worried about manifest v3. hblock is way better than most ad blockers because it uses your hosts file to work. In other words, it's not constantly running in the background. Web sites can't detect it and it works any browser. It's worth mentioning the equivalent on Android is AdAway.
Same concept, but I personally like to use this https://energized.pro/

Is there an OPNsense plugin or service that can block ads like pi-hole?
This is what I did as well, I added the Energized.pro Ultimate list URL to the blocklist section of Unbound and it worked like a charm.

How do I add the dns over https server to the "private dns" on android?
Yes the standard mode is a VPN. The app also offers a non-vpn mode that works best if you are root. Alternatively, you can piggy back it with a firewall app, but those will use the VPN api too. I have not tested it in that mode. FAQ
-
Is there an app that blocks Facebook and alike without a VPN slot/root?
https://github.com/ch4t4r/Nebulo can run in proxy (localhost) mode.

AdGuard vs Blokada (non root user)
DNS66, unfortunately, leaks DNS over TCP (which many spyware SDKs like InMobi / Gamooga use) and (iirc) it also lacks encryption which apps like personalDNSFilter, Nebulo implement.
- 58% of Hacker News, Reddit and tech-savvy audiences block Google Analytics
-
Any app connection scanners for Android?
Blokada remains a credible adblocker, but it isn't water tight, nor do I (and others I have spoken to, like the developers of Nebulo, personalDNSFilter, and DNS66) get the feeling the developers really get digital security or privacy.

Do you trust NextDNS?
Or nebulo for android, quad9, then blocklist.

Is Blokada effective? Any issues I should know about?
Blokada is pretty decent at what it does, but there absolutely are better alternatives, https://github.com/ch4t4r/Nebulo is one.

Adguard is amazing for adblocking on non-rooted android phones
For the above reasons, https://github.com/ch4t4r/Nebulo is a better app, privacy wise. It doesn't do any of the above.
