Why DNS Blocking is Better Than Browser Ad Blockers

You've probably tried browser ad blockers like AdBlock Plus or uBlock Origin. They work... sort of. But they're fighting a losing battle.

Here's why DNS blocking is like having a bouncer at the door instead of trying to throw people out after they're already inside your house.

The Problem You Didn't Know You Had

You might think ads are just a minor annoyance, but they're actually slowing down your internet, draining your phone battery, consuming your data plan, and potentially exposing you to malware.

📱

Your Phone is Slower

Ads consume 20-40% of your mobile data and significantly drain your battery. That "slow" website? It's probably loading dozens of ad scripts in the background.

👁️

You're Being Watched

Every website you visit reports back to advertising networks. They know what you shop for, what you read, and where you go online—building a detailed profile to manipulate your purchasing decisions.

🦠

Hidden Security Risks

Malicious ads (malvertising) can infect your device even on legitimate websites. Major sites like CNN and BBC have unknowingly served malware through their ad networks.

💰

Wasting Your Money

On mobile data plans, you're literally paying to download ads. Heavy ad content can consume 50-70% of a webpage's data, meaning you're paying for content you don't want.

How DNS Blocking Works

Think of DNS as the internet's phone book. When you type a website name, DNS looks up its address. DNS blocking simply removes ad servers from this phone book.

Step-by-Step: What Happens When You Visit a Website

You type "news.com"

Your device asks DNS: "Where is news.com?"

→

DNS responds with address

QuietNet DNS says: "news.com is at 93.184.216.34"

→

Website tries to load ads

The website asks for "ad-server.com" and "tracker.net"

→

QuietNet blocks ad requests

QuietNet DNS responds: "ad-server.com not found" ✋ BLOCKED

→

You see clean content

The website loads faster without ads, tracking, or malware
