Ublock Origin, privacy badger, pihole for home DNS.... Can't live without them
-
What does pihole do that Ublock does not?
-
Every non-PC, non-web browser on your network also reaps the benefit.
-
A DNS blocking system like Pihole can block ads on platforms you don't control, like smart TVs or mobile apps.
-
I was told YouTube is excluded from said benefit.
-
Yes the way YT loads ads it won't work to simply block them with a simple DNS pattern match, you need a proper adblocker or third party app. But you can block all the other nuisance clutter on the smart TV, at least.
My TV is hooked to my PC now as a monitor, so I just watch YT on it right in Firefox.
