Portmaster or nextdns (or other pihole like filter) works too. I think the point is, why give your money to these companies for a shitty product if there is a viable alternative?

For now. I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft enabled DNS over HTTPS by default "for security" and then made it impossible to turn off or change for the ads
