Anyway my point is that Ublock origin can be more than enough for many people who don't use such devices. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* Right, but again, thats only browser stuff. If i say android i mean the actual operating system and all applications/services that are running on your phone. My point was that ublock is limited to a browser, and there is so much stuff that can be blocked, more than just ads. Im not saying ublock is useless, or that average joe shouldnt use it btw. I run it on my phone and pc in firefox, but i also have a pihole for so much more. permalink fedilink source parent [β] ObsidianZed@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children) I'm genuinely curious, to what are you referring when mentioning Windows, Discord, Nvidia, etc.?

An incomplete solution, but better than nothing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [β] SpaceCadet@feddit.nl 24 points 2 years ago (1 child) uBlock can do much more refined and targeted blocking than a pihole because it has access to the entire page that is being served and can selectively filter elements. The pihole only has access to the DNS name, and DNS blocking is a rather crude tool to block ads that can be defeated by serving the ads from the same domain. For example: a pihole doesn't work for blocking YouTube ads, because they come from the same domain. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] archchan@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago pihole doesn't work for blocking YouTube ads It does if I block the entire youtube domain.

All in all a terrible comment. permalink fedilink source parent [β] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 years ago Ublock will work if you don't go and install a bunch of proprietary apps. Also it has the ability to block elements on the DOM so its more effective for web pages. permalink fedilink source parent [β] ObsidianZed@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* Pihole alone does not block YouTube ads for me.
