Not a fan of this, except for very small sites where I cannot run something like a Pi-Hole easily.

Pretty good for just blocking one or two domains you want to go away. Not good as a general solution for ad blocking. But if you just want to knock out one or two that cause problems for you, it's decent.

Does it consume any resources on the router?
Some, not many. Unless the list is huge.

Of course it does. It has to perform look ups for all DNS requests. But they are local look ups, so they are fast, and happens before it bothers to go to the dns forwarding server. I like
dnsmasqfunctionality.What I don't like is the scripting that happens during the 5am cron job.

For any non AD based site, the router is already the DNS server for the clients, and I can create a static host mapping for any URL I want to kill.
The biggest thing to know, that the article does a good job of stating is that you need to disable DHCP assigned DNS from the WAN.
Obviously, if you have a static WAN, this is not needed.# eth0 is the default WAN port on all modern wizard configs. set interfaces ethernet eth0 dhcp-options name-server no-updateThere have been posts and posts about this for years on the UBNT forums.

@scottalanmiller Assuming the router is the DNS source, this accomplishes the same task for a simple 1 off.
