I really appreciate projects like this because I'm sure keeping these lists up-to-date is not an easy task, and many people benefit from the efforts.

That said: maybe it's just me, but I find their website[1] a bit...strange?

It looks like one of those SAAS startup landing pages, you can pick your "pack of block list" ranging from "Tru lite" to "XTreme" etc...

Or maybe it's supposed to be ironic and I just don't get it :) [1] https://energized.pro/

I have been using NextDNS with a few block lists configured at the router level and device level.

The internet experience has improved a lot since ads and trackers are blocked system wide.

A few block lists that I would recommend:

1. Steven Hosts - https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

2. Adguard DNS - https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardSDNSFilter

3. disconnect.me

The amount of DNS requests made silently in the background is astonishing across all devices.

Me too! It's blocking a whopping 25%-30% of all requests without a single negative change in my browsing comfort.

Ironically their website doesn't work if you block 3rd party JS due to Cloudflare.

Energized Protection actually included them all, so you don't need to add them one by one, and nextdns supports it!
