Your one stop dns resolver for safer internet. Lets you configure to block/allow websites or domains through pre-defined blocklists and whitelists.

AdGurd is redundant if one is using OISD. ( also you might want to update the link to big.oisd), 81 of the list included in big blocklist is of AdGuard. Check here – https://oisd.nl/includedlists/big/0
requesting you to at-least add https://easylist.to/easylist/easylist.txt & https://easylist.to/easylist/easyprivacy.txt to reduce the malicious intent of whitelisting in oidn, if want to continue using that list.
To me, OISD is shit, it provide the Illusion of blocking many thing, where in reality its isn’t. has vested interest, and whitelists domains for financial benefit. It had included lots of list to confuse user, while slipping many tracking url.
Sponsored by AdGuard, unnecessarily bloated list, contain many irrelevant and super outdated list , for example Energized use to be one the good blocklist provider but they seized to exist now for over 4 year, this OISD still use that blocklist ( one such example – https://raw.githubusercontent.com/E…/Converter/Hosts/AdguardSpywareFirstParty.txt )
StevenBlack + Easylist + Easyprivacy, is 100 time better then OISD, and would be more effective.
But as i said in the OP, its the most hyped blocklist out there, if i speak “facts” about it, people will come after me with draggers.

EDIT and Disclaimer:
My objective is different than any other individual, its not the ads rather “privacy” & “surveillance” matter to me most.
My defence system is based on my “personal objective”, which may not be suitable for any other. While SB+HaGeZi’s are my base lists, I RegEx a lot (whitelist+blacklist) in initial days, very granule control based-on my device groups.
