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!
