    My Raspberry Pi SD card finally died after almost 10 years, and I was hosting Pi-Hole on it. After a year of Pi-Hole I didn’t realize how many things had freaken ads. They pop up everywhere! I really need to get a new SD card :(

      That only stops browser activity? What about windows, discord, nvidia, … ? :p
      Those are all blocked on my pihole ( i run both pihole and ublock btw )

        I guess I just don’t trust Windows discord and Nvidia. I don’t think DNS filtering will protect you if they control the computer

    I don’t bother with PiHole because DNS-based ad blocking quite frankly sucks and is only getting worse.

    I’m still waiting for someone like AdGuard to release a MITM proxy that does something similar to uBlock Origin and strips ads directly from the network traffic

    But until then, browser extensions are good enough for most usecases (Firefox user so the adblocking ones work on mobile as well)

    Not if it is my ad, Golden Globe nominated movie, Barbie, is now available on Blu-ray and select streaming services.

    Nowhere is safe. No where.
