It's at the router level

It’s a DNS server and does not have the same capabilities as the router

It has all the same info the browser will eventually get.

It does not. Not just because of the previous reason but also because most traffic is encrypted nowadays (https) which means that even the router can’t read/modify the traffic to the device.

Another issue is that some things blocked by uBlock are hard to detect with static analysis in comparison to reading the rendered HTML.
