What I mean by the next few years is instead of upgrading eventually to the M3 Max version of my laptop I'll buy something not Apple. If Apple continue down this path and don't do a reversal on this move.

PiHole goes a long way.. for mobile, I've setup wireguard at home, which lets my phone use my PiHole for DNS... Was the most convenient self-host option for it... bonus, is it blocks ads for other devices too.

I use nextDNS (not affiliated) which is hosted version of PiHole. At home, you can change Wi-Fi router's settings to use nextDNS as DNS server. That way, all your devices goes through nextDNS. Safari can be configured to bypass default DNS though..
