I'm not sure that's what you're implying, but DNS-level blocking is not more powerful than filtering in the browser, at least in the sense of what it is capable of.
Content-filtering can and most definitely does block domains entirely, but it can also filter page elements served from the same domain which match a known ad "signature".
Though, if you can't run an adblocker, e.g. your Smart TV's browser then sure, DNS-level blocking is your best bet.
My browser passed with flying colors, but I suspect that had less to do with my ad blocker and more to do with the fact that I don't have JS enabled. When you can get away with it, not allowing JS makes websites less annoying and more secure.

So, I guess the answer is: yes, I can block it
