Add Pi-hole (https://pi-hole.net/) to the suggestions for DNS. Works quite well as a network DNS server, blocking ad and tracker domains (and anything else you feel like blocking).

Isn't this a bit "niche" since it's towards the RPi? I believe the tools here are supposed to be for every machine (or at most, divided by Software and/or Mobile/Computer)

Since it says A network-wide DNS server for the Raspberry Pi, I think it's fine. If you have a Raspberry Pi you can host it for all computers on your network. So on one hand you need the rpi but on the other hand it works as a server for all devices on your network, just like using a third party DNS. The description specifically says that it's for Raspberry Pi, so it's okay.

Yes, but you need a server. Though I'm not sure how performant Raspberry Pi is for hosting a DNS server, does anyone here have experience with Pi-hole?

I've been running it on my network on a Pi 3 model B for a while, as DNS and DHCP (less than a dozen clients) without any issues. Memory usage seems to be sitting around 12%.

I haven't noticed a difference. I just ran a namebench test, comparing it to major providers, and it falls in the middle of the pack. This is using Cloudflare as the upstream DNS, and DNSSEC is not enabled. Average response time was 98ms
(SYS-192.168.1.135 is the Pi-Hole)

Does domain resolution seem slower than using a regular DNS server or are the speeds comparable?

Thanks for sharing that. I expected an issue with performance. Seeing that test result, I might try running one at home as well.
