I tried this some time ago, but it ended up far inferior to Adblock, both in the amount of extra stuff it let thru, and the amount of actually useful domains which end up on the blacklist. For example, the HiFi system I use to watch Netflix requires some Sony domain which is on most DNS blocklists. I ended up going back to Adblock.

Actually you can both systems at the same time. DNS blocking is one efficient solution for devices which doesn't have access to Adblock, but it doesn't block you from using Adblock on your computers and your compatible phones / tablets.
