I tested the top free DNS ad blocking services with the default configuration. which one do you use?

I tested the top free DNS ad blocking services with the default configuration. which one do you use?

Platform : Chrome and Firefox on android

Config : I tested using the free public facing DNS provided by each site (DNS-over-TLS).
Except for NextDNS since they required making an account (a free tier one)

I used these filters there (I tried to stay minimal) :
NextDNS Ads & Trackers Blocklist
AdGuard DNS filter
Lightswitch05 - Ads & Tracking

I didn't mess with any of the other settings since they tend to break some sites.
None were able to block YT/Spotify Ads except for Control D but only on paid plan using a feature called teleport but I am not paying for a dns so I won't be using it. (a detailed comment).

Ref with the sites I tested on.
