Got a pi hole, what are ads in general?

    I know that I'm at fault here for using such services, but Pihole can't block the ads that are hosted on the same server as the service, eg. Half the ads on Youtube.

    It's still really good for privacy though, blocking mIcRoSoFt spyware and all kinds of other stuft. And you can create your own blocklists.

    I just got a pihole setup and im curious how youd block Microsoft stuff using it. Is it part of a blocklist or is it something you manually filtered?

    I'm not loyal to a browser, I'm loyal to features. If Chrome supported ad block on mobile and FF stopped, I'd switch overnight

    Which is exactly the way it should be. And it's a godsend that firefox supports uBlock in mobile.

    Definitely, YT background play and ad block have been a lifesaver on car rides

    I just set up a pi hole, I was late to the party.

    So much shit is pushed from our PCs, and phones. 49.85% of requests are blocked by it.

    It's even more horrifying when you realize that's a lower bound. It doesn't even include dynamically loaded ads from the same domains, and it doesn't include ads that can't be blocked because it would stop services from working.

    Was using Chrome as my main browser and FF as my second browser last week. Uninstalled Chrome, made Firefox my main browser and Waterfox as my second browser. Forget Chrome and forget Edge!

    First slide says something along the lines of "boo, i just use adblock" and the second one should make sense
