## <a name="whatshouldiuse"></a> Which version of the lists should I use?
- Use [Light](https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists#light) if you have to pay attention to the size of the list, because the AdBlocker does not support large lists, or light protection is sufficient for you.
- Use [Normal](https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists#normal) if there is no admin nearby who can unblock something from time to time. E.g. for grandma and grandpa or the whole home or family network.
- Use [Pro](https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists#pro) if an admin is available who could unblock something if necessary. My personal recommendation for almost problem-free adblocking.
- Use [Pro++](https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists#proplus) if you are an experienced user, know what you are doing and privacy is important to you. This is an aggressive list and you may need to unblock things more often.
- Use [Ultimate](https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists#ultimate) if Pro++ is not enough for you.
- [Light](https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists#light): Should not lead to any restrictions. It is particularly suitable for environments in which there is no admin nearby who can unblock something and if you have to pay attention to the size of the list, because the AdBlocker does not support large lists.
- [Normal](https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists#normal): Should not lead to any restrictions for the most part. It is particularly suitable for environments in which there is no admin nearby who can unblock something.
- [Pro](https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists#pro): Should only very rarely lead to restrictions. It is suitable for environments where there is an admin nearby who can unblock something. My personal recommendation for mostly problem-free adblocking with good privacy protection.
- [Pro++](https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists#proplus): More aggressive version of the Pro list. It may contain a few false positive domains that limit functionality. Therefore it should only be used by experienced users. Furthermore, an admin should be available to unblock incorrectly blocked domains.
- [Ultimate](https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists#ultimate): Stricter version of the Pro++ list. It contains domains that limit functionality in apps and on websites - some popular trackers, that lead to restrictions, are blocked in this list. Therefore it should only be used by very experienced users. Furthermore, an admin should be available to unblock incorrectly blocked domains.
> [!IMPORTANT]
Another important recommendation is to combine the main lists with the [Threat Intelligence Feeds](https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists#tif) list if possible. For Adblockers that have problems with the size of the full TIF list there is a smaller [medium](https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists#tifmedium) and [mini](https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists#tifmini) version. If you use AdGuard Home or AdGuard DNS, I also recommend using the [Dandelion Sprout's Anti-Malware List](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/master/Alternate%20versions%20Anti-Malware%20List/AntiMalwareAdGuardHome.txt). There is also an [IPv4 list](https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists#tifips) that can be used additionally to the TIF or TIF medium/mini list.

> [!TIP]
> **Only for NextDNS users:** The [Threat Intelligence Feeds](https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists#tif) list is not available in NextDNS, the security features should be used instead. Furthermore, I recommend that NextDNS users also use the [OISD](https://oisd.nl/) list, which also contains some TIF sources that are not covered by the NextDNS security features.
