uBlock Origin Lite now available on Firefox
Note that CNAMEs is literally caused by GDPR, and the pathway every single ad or tracking company seems to go sooner or later.
For people not understanding how it works: you can set a CNAME entry on your tracker.domain.tld to bypass all Browser's third-party tracking preventions, and make it look like it's a normal subdomain of your website.
You need to make a CNAME tracker database manually by resolving the reverse entries for known IPs. Usually there is hundreds or thousands of CNAME entries pointing to the same IP address.
The AdGuard team also made a database for this, in case anyone needs it for UBOL [1]

Disguised trackers are blocked regardless of toggle (which is a good thing)
So nextdns’s third party disguised trackers is actually really tiny of a list, like 30 domains. (Im trying to add more so it has the same amount of cname’s blocked as adguard). Anyways, the reason why the list is so tiny is because it uses wildcard logic so all subdomains get blocked. It already uses some of the cname companies that adguards cname-tracker list uses but not all. Hopefully my pull request can get merge eventually because then the setting will be a little bit more effective

How to block fathom tracking
I see fathom on Adguard CNAME tracker. Example:
- Does the Adguard Tracking Protection List protect Chrome and Safari from CNAME trackers?
-
YouTube ads in Safari: you see them now, will you see them in the future?
> uBlock Origin already performs CNAME decloaking and blocks this approach, it’s pretty cool.
... which in return is a static list of domains which needs to be regularly updated, and therefore is not really failsafe. uBlock0 uses Adguard's scraped dataset [1] as a source to do this, as Chrome Extensions cannot make DNS requests without a DNS-via-HTTPS endpoint.

Just wanted to point out there's also a "justdomains" variant: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/cname-trackers/blob/master/combined_disguised_trackers_justdomains.txt

CNAME cloaking - is there a countermeasure coming to Pi-Hole?
I stumbled across AdGuard publishing a new list of trackers abusing the CNAME cloaking technique and, AFAIK, Pi-Hole does not offer any protection against these. So, I was wondering if there was something planned to do so.

Runs on your OpenWrt box: AdGuard Home is network-wide blocking ads and tracking
I used Pi-Hole, then went to NextDNS, then to AdGuard DNS, tinkered with AdGuard Home, and currently testing Control-D. They are all actually pretty good, similar features, and it has become just a matter of personal choice.
In all fairness, when I have some time and can invest in decent hardwares, I might go back to AdGuard Home with one of the paid services as backup for travel, and when for the other family members.
Pi-Hole works really well but once-a-while, when I'm traveling, it will decide to act up and it's a whole IT support with the family over phone for minutes if not hours. I'm not smart enough to setup a secure enough tunnel and the like, and haven't read up enough on the topic. This follows similar pattern with AdGuard Home.
NextDNS, AdGuard DNS, Control-D are easy and just works, especially with the devices that the family uses. I think I bought one of those AdGuard Lifetime license, so I use that to block client-side rendered ads in conjunction with either AdGuard DNS or NextDNS or Control-D. Right now, Control-D is doing pretty good with my test-drive.

Browser extensions spy on you, even if its developers don't
https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardDNS
In the case of AdGuard DNS being open source does not change the fact that it is a centralized service and using such a service is a matter of trust.
- Please support Adguard public dns syntaxes
- Interesting ad placement on an trailer about a man in Otago being shot.

Difference between premium and free
hey, what is the difference between adguard premium and free? Does the free one not include dns servers or something? Also, I did find a free dns server to use on my router at adguard-dns.io
