Cool! Are you talking about something like pi-hole or something else? In what way is it going to lead to better outcomes? I already have a pretty much flawless experience with my adblockers (especially when it comes to easily creating custom rules, using the element zapper, and testing new blocklists).
I find that my suite of browser extensions serves me really well, and it keeps working even when I enable my VPN, but something like pi-hole stops working if you do that.
How does the solution you’re talking about differ? How does it provide a better experience?
It’s the other way around. DNS based filters are more efficient since connection attempt is simply dropped before it reaches your device, but browser based adblocks are a lot more feature rich allowing blocking specific HTML elements not just domains.
Blocking is far better on the VPN routing level then bothering with a browser extension.

I use a combo as I like the blocks happening within apps as well.
Same here, but I have disabled it for Firefox and let uBlock handle browser. Some sites detected and disliked DNS level blocking.
