Did you try all of them?

What made you stick with the one you are currently using?

I became fully aware of Control D only yesterday as the name was vaguely familiar to me when I heard it and for Adguard DNS well I thought it was a normal-ish DNS service like 1 1 1 1, quad9, Google, etc… (not that user configurable).

I tried looking for some reviews and discussions comparing the 3 but found almost nothing about Control D and Adguard DNS but I did stumble upon Control D CEO 2 blog posts comparing Adguard DNS and NextDNS to Control D.

There seems to be not that much talk about these 2 unlike NextDNS which seems way more popular, if I’m correct then what made it way more popular and known?

    Like NextDNS,there’s a very good range of blocklists to choose from but the firewall part is easier to set up and play with. My use case is as the app on my mobile phone and tablet. You can use the DNS element alone as you would with NextDNS and specify that for other devices. It took me a while to definitely move from NextDNS to Rethink. I went back and forth a few times.
