lol kinda crazy how awful the internet is without pihole + browser adblock (ublock origin).
using a friend computer i went to website i normally use on my home setup without any problems for streaming sports, got like a billion popups and shit, didn't realize how protected from this crap i am on my home network.
It really is wild. I don't know if I could deal with using much of the internet regularly without a thing like ublock. Especially like youtube, I'm pretty sure I'd just stop using youtube if I could not block ads. And like, I understand there would be less videos made if people were not making money off of the platform, but it doesn't change how awful of an experience ads are inherently, having distracting crap shoved into your brain so that you'll buy shit you don't need and never wanted. In general, I think it's bad for society how much of capitalist mode of things depends on ads and the way they abuse knowledge of human psychology. Organic in-video "sponsorships" are almost worse in this way because the personable figure who you might enjoy as an audience member now becomes the sales person and they get to abuse that liking of them to get you to buy something, not unlike how multi level marketing schemes work.
Even through multiple layers of abstraction, it all boils down to commodity production.
I was running both pihole & ub0 for the last two years, A few weeks ago I disconnected from the pihole and it made no difference. Turns out it was redundant.
Pihole covers all devices on the network tho.
