### Is this a relevant question?
It's likely greener to just use adblocking DNS no matter where it is located,
preferably on router level. I don't trust router/DHCP provided DNS and encrypt
it on the end device anyway. And if something needs unfiltered access
(AdNauseam?), give it DNS over HTTPS like all browsers and curl have the
ability nowadays.

This may also be a wrong approach entirely and it should just be an adblocking
DNS as noted before.
Additionally DNS filtering for web browsers may be irrelevant if browser
policy enforces extensions that block malicious domains (such as µBlock Origin
or AdNauseam) or even Google Safe Browsing.
