I use dns.watch when I can’t use pihole, but do you recommend any other DNS resolver, and why?

I use AdGuard’s public DNS. Mostly because it’s free. https://adguard-dns.io/en/public-dns.html
I found https://nextdns.io easy to use with good free plan - 300,000 queries/month
I love NextDNS, does everything I need it to.

I’ve been using nextdns
I use Control D. They operate a few resolvers.
- p0.freedns.controld.com - filters nothing
- p1.freedns.controld.com - filters malware
- p2.freedns.controld.com - filters malware + ads
- p3.freedns.controld.com - filters malware, ads, and social media (obviously not fediverse stuff since there are so many). This is the one i use.
I would encourage you to find one that fits your needs at DNSCrypt, or Privacy Guides, or Privacy Raccoon. Which will provide some basic information about a DNS resolver, then you can do more research as you see fit.
As a heads-up, some will block ads for you and some won’t.
On android, I use rethinkDNS. Its pretty configurable and open-source. On windows or linux, I use mullvad dns. They have 2 free DNS resolvers(unfiltered, adblock)
Mullvad DNS works without using the VPN?
There is free DNS resolvers on mullvad. Check it out here.
You have to be careful since these DNS resolvers are different to DNS resolver which mullvad VPN uses. If you are not using mullvad VPN, those would be fine. But if you are using mullvad VPN, consider other.
