Then, of course, there is PiHole, works for every browser on every 
computer on the network. You can also blacklist any IP address you like 
(or rather don't like) and encrypt your DNS requests.

But uBlock Origin is not just about blocking network requests.
Moreover, blocking by IP address alone can be problematic - especialy for
cloud/CDN hosted sites.

uBlock Origin also blocks unwanted HTML elements, and blocks & substitutes
bad JS code.

JS code substitution may be required to avoid breaking site functionality.
e.g. replace code which shows ads, with dummy code which does nothing.

I don't need to worry since I use Firefox so I can still use uBlock Origin

false sense of privacy,  you to your DNS server might be encrypted, but 
your DNS server all the way to top of chain down through all the layers 
to and including the authoratitive server for teh hostname you just 
looked up to return your answer - is ALL, unencrypted.

I also dont know of any aussie ISP's that log your DNS traffic, so you 
have more DNS privacy then if you used cloudfare, Q9 or any other open 
dns service who use your data for marketing reasons.


if ISP wants to know where you are going, they can simply use netflow

Encrypted DNS is more useful for circumventing ISP's DNS based blocking,
rather than for privacy.

most proponents say they want it to hide their activities.
others (most likely aligned with above) use 1.1.1.1 or 9.9.9.9 to avoid 
lawful requirements to block fileshare sites

run your own DNS problem mostly solved.

Tough, unless encrypted DNS is used (e.g. DoH, DNSSEC), changing DNS server
won't matter, since some ISPs use Deep Packet Inspection, and they will see
everything.

sleep with a glock under your pillow too i bet, ready to aim it at those 
low flying black choppers at 3am. with 30 years experience in the aussie 
ISP game, I cant think of one that spies on users DNS, but, you think 
what ya wanna, your most welcome to and i know you will anyway and 
ppsssstt  layer7 will get your content or enough meta data anyway to know 
your  own those questionable sites, if your really worried about it, you 
see that thick black cord running from that box your using to a GPO? rip 
it out the wall - cause thats teh  only way you'll have actual privacy ;)
