Yes, with AdGuard Public DNS blocking ‘ads, trackers, and malware/phishing websites’, all I see now is this plea in place of ads:

ASUSWRT router WAN DNS-over-TLS (encrypted DNS) is simply configured for AdGuard servers (use this tool to quickly test, https://www.dnscheck.tools/):

Sharing the details in case they are of interest to anyone (watch for DNS-based ad blocking side effects, if any). Ads have ruined the Internet experience and now low rent ad networks (often serving on less-funded/hobbyist websites) are being exploited by malvertising. Ads can no longer be tolerated… I waited far too long.
