To my knowledge 1.1.1.1 does not offer as blocking? Or are you referring to some other cloudflare offer?

They're most likely referring to the provider reselling your data (basically you're trading scattered tracking on many providers to NextDNS getting all your DNS lookups, which can be resold without your knowledge)

You are correct. Cloudflare’s DNS does not assist you with blocking ads and trackers.
