I have this setup for like a year now, and I didn’t really encounter any problems as far as I know. (or did I?) However, I just thought I would ask about it because I’ve been experiencing YouTube slowdowns recently via the mobile website (like video plays and video stops, and like my data won’t exceed 500k/s usage most of the time), even though I never experience any of this in YouTube Revanced Extended.

I just enabled every filter that looked good in the Brave settings and added every starred/recommended list in yokkofing’s filter list. (I used this list because it was heavily recommended)

I also have the Brave configurations set up with the PrivacyGuides’s recommended configuration, and I’m also using Mullvad’s DNS server (the base version; see all versions) both in my browser and in my Android device via the Private DNS feature.

So, is it overkill/redundant? If yes, what should I remove?

    I used to have a pihole running on my network, but now I just use the dns.adguard-dns.com on my network and phone.

      I use Portmaster and also it’s encrypted DNS with Adguard filter, works fine avoiding all kind of crap and tracking, but blocking ads on DNS level do not work good For this is still needed an adblocker extension in the browser.
