The new problem is AI running on the TV taking the images sent to it and processing those separately from everything else, and using that to see what you’re doing and watching.

Sadly not a magic fix

Why not? That plus a good router forcing all DNS queries to you server of choice (e.g., Asus+Merlin) is the way to go.

I take it you never heard of hard coded IP adresses and DoH/DoT.

sighs… I take you never heard that hard coded IP addresses can’t bypass you router (using iptables/notables) forcing queries only on port 53 of your server of choice and that DoH/DoT servers can be blocked by a simple DNS blocklist (a feature in both ControlD and NextDNS, for instance).

That alone would solve 99% of the problem.

What other statistics can you pull out of you butt crack? Rhetorical question. Here’s one I pulled out of mine: blocking DNS requests is out of reach of 98.5% of the vast majority of most users, probably. Hell. That is likely how many users don’t even know about it.
