A Pi-hole is easy to set up if you already have a Raspberry Pi and a router that supports changing the DNS (I had one that was rented from an ISP that didn't).
Love my pihole. Didn’t help with YouTube, which is the latest ad scandal.
Yeah, sites that hosts their own ads like yt can’t be blocked by dns-level blocking for the most part. You end up blocking yt itself.
On that front you need ublock in browser (for now) or a modded app like revanced on android, uyou on iOS, smarttubenext on firestick, etc.
Firefox Focus works on iOS as well, as does Safari with Focus’ Adblock rules imported!
