iCloud private relay or Nextdns? (sh.itjust.works)

Basically the way I see it iCloud private relay helps you in terms of safari browsing and keeping your ip hidden and I suppose encrypting unencrypted traffic is a plus.

However iCloud relay also routes your dns queries which yeah is good if you want to see the app transparency report, but doesn’t really help block anything.

From what I know Nextdns is a great service that helps block unwanted connections or trackers, but then you loose the safari advantage.

So I guess the question is, which is the best option for privacy and security?

(Also the nextdns app hasn’t been updated for about 3years on iOS)

control d. I have been testing for about 24 hours now and it resolves fast. I'm going to keep using both for at least a month before I decide.
