One problem is... when you want to allow a blocked domain. It can be time consuming and confusing trying to track down which one of those things is actually stopping you.

How to Geek basically wants to whitelist the internet in order to get to their bloody site. Which is a shame as I like their content.
DNS blocking doesn't affect speed, but anything that blocks elements inside a page or a script running in the background does. But it shouldn't really be noticeable from the internet perspective.

I use a few of these and I have no issues with internet speed. I can stream HD video while uploading large files no problem. So I'd bet you'd be just fine, probably won't even notice unless it's faster. But I wasn't aware of hBlock, I'll have to look into it.
