Hello there friends, please explain me how it is with custom dns, adguard for example. I know with standard setttings my isp see everything, but if i will use some encrypted dns what they will see exactly? I know one thing - if i visit for example 9gag they will see that, but if i click memes category on that site they will know i clicked on that category or not? I also know if i want full privacy I must use tor or / with vpn but this time I asking about this situation. Thank you so so much.

    Basically the same thing.

    Encrypted DNS is not for privacy, it is for stopping someone from altering your queries basically, because normal DNS is not encrypted. Domains are exposed through other various methods we explain. Please see our website where we’ve gone to the effort to explain this https://www.privacyguides.org/en/advanced/dns-overview/ we have a flow chart that characterizes the above methods of obtaining the domains you’re requesting.
