Because its slow and nowadays I'm more preoccupied with performance than privacy
I used to have all those addons from privacy guides, today I only use uBlock and a cookie auto deleter, that's more than enough and it also helps with performance
Why aren't you using DNS over HTTPS user?

pf.conf is the packet filter config for OpenBSD and NetBSD (and any others that use pf). So that's how I block those DNS: at the firewall. You can probably do the same with iptables in Linux.
I never used dnscrypt, and it sounds a bit complicated, not sure it's worth my trouble. I'm more likely to do something altogether different, like for example increasing my local resolver (unbound) cache TTL, and storing a DB of all resolved hostnames, and notifying me if something changes. That way I can go back to using host files, basically. ^_^

To lose muh XUL extensions? Kek

Because I'm using DNS over TLS instead.

You only lose your XUL extensions when you upgrade Firefox and also refuse to upgrade your XUL extensions. You have always had the power to do this, you simply refuse to make the investment.

Why can’t I use a VPN?

dnscrypt comes working out of the box, all you really have to do is disable the cianigger DoH and make sure you're using the local server.

iptables isnt that nice. you have to reconfigure it manually after every reboot. sure you can make scripts do it but on openbsd theres a nice config file

I'll look into this.
Also, can someone explain to me why install gentoo wiki says to add new servers in a syntax that looks like this:
/etc/conf.d/dnscrypt-proxyDNSCRYPT_LOCALIP=127.0.0.1DNSCRYPT_LOCALPORT=40DNSCRYPT_USER=dnscrypt DNSCRYPT_PROVIDER_NAME=DNSCRYPT_PROVIDER_KEY=DNSCRYPT_RESOLVERIP=DNSCRYPT_OPTIONS="--edns-payload-size=4096" DNSCRYPT_RESOLVERPORT=443
And dnscrypt's wiki on github says to add servers like so:
server_names = ['server_i_want'][static][static.'server_i_want']stamp = 'sdns://SOME LONG STRING OF CONFUSING SHIT'
What the fuck is this stamp shit? why is the syntax so fucking retarded, why doesn't it work even when i go through all the trouble of doing it? WHY DOES NONE OF THESE WORK DESPITE BEING THE METHOD ON THE WIKIS?!?!
What fuck nigger made this shit.
I mean, the one on the installl gentoo wiki made some sense but this .tmol look fucking barbaric.

How about no? Followed by Waterfox or Palemoon.
