These days, trackers infiltrate nearly every webpage. Advertisements demand your attention and monitor your online movements. Your own devices and software send telemetry back to manufacturers and developers, leaking all kinds of information about your activities.
DNS blocklists can help you regain control over your network traffic. They can stop your devices from ever connecting to certain data tracking sites, malicious content, or servers that collect telemetry.
