    Yes it is a fingerprint that only our status page can link to a profile for security reasons.

       ok, thank you. I was trying to force Chrome to use my nextdns profile to remove some ads I was seeing but i wasnt sure it was applying a generic profile or my profile with AD blocking setup. I'm assume that even though ive force Chrome to use my custom DNS it is some how applying some baked-in ADS from the browser. If i use Firefox the ADS dont show so I know the AD contect is not coming from the site domain itself.

      if you see this, it means you have a profile selected. If you want more info, just go on my.nextdns.io, you will see which profile is selected on the status page.
