I receive plenty of app recommendations from readers, and some I’ve genuinely grown to love and appreciate. One that has become a must-use across my devices is NextDNS.
This self-managed Private DNS solution has completely transformed how I block ads and trackers on my phone and any other devices that I choose. It’s so effective that I’ve largely dropped dedicated ad-blocking apps that I previously relied on.
But given NextDNS was recommended by readers, how many of you actually use the service? I wanted to know, and after running a poll on my feature article, you can view the data we’ve garnered below.

Surprisingly, the majority of the nearly 4,000 readers who voted don’t use NextDNS as it stands.
While 35.4% of respondents are “considering it,” 26% of readers admit they don’t use it at all or have no interest in it. Combined, this means that over 60% of voters don’t use the service at all.
More than three in every five respondents don't use NextDNS.
This isn’t entirely surprising, even for power users. While I had heard of NextDNS before my review, I hadn’t had the time or impetus to try it. It’s possible that users who might want to try it have decision inertia, as evidenced by the large number of people only now considering it after I offered my verdict.
