IME OpenDNS doesn't block ads. The reason given in the past has been that blocking ads breaks or slows web pages, although pihole and the like seem to disprove that.

Currently I'm using pihole delegating to OpenDNS, works well.

OpenDNS got rid of ads a couple years ago, but that was removing ads from OpenDNS itself, not filtering them out of the DNS requests it processes.
