I don't quite understand the use-case for the pi-hole. Why use it, when one could simply use something like µBlock Origin?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 8 months ago (5 children)

µBlock Origin is great for browsers that support extensions. But that won't get most Android TV ads or Apple TV users. And I suspect many of the people with pi hole also use µBlock Origin for redundancy.

Correct, I use both myself. Pihole is also my DHCP server and I created different blocklists for different devices on my network. For example, I have "general", "media", "gaming" and "kids".
