Right, but again, thats only browser stuff. If i say android i mean the actual operating system and all applications/services that are running on your phone.
My point was that ublock is limited to a browser, and there is so much stuff that can be blocked, more than just ads.
Im not saying ublock is useless, or that average joe shouldnt use it btw. I run it on my phone and pc in firefox, but i also have a pihole for so much more.
You don’t need uBlock if you have a pihole properly configured, but you still need a pihole even if you have uBlock properly configured. uBlock is a half measure. An incomplete solution, but better than nothing.
Ublock origin
That only stops browser activity? What about windows, discord, nvidia, … ? :p
Those are all blocked on my pihole ( i run both pihole and ublock btw )
I guess I just don’t trust Windows discord and Nvidia. I don’t think DNS filtering will protect you if they control the computer
Or android, ios, consoles, … :p
These are all devices pihole can help with that ublock cant. A combination of the 2 is key
Well on android you can install browser extensions so that’s not a problem.
Anyway my point is that Ublock origin can be more than enough for many people who don’t use such devices.

Works great when you have a device that can use it.
So all PCs, Macs, tablets, and smartphones then.
Most mobile browsers can’t. Every Chromium browser is soon getting the gimped Lite version too.
So it’s just Firefox on not iOS.
Seems like a good idea to stay away from those browsers, then.
I don’t know about ios but on android you can switch your dns to something like quad9 for your dns server
DNS cannot do what ublock does, but it is helpful for non-browsers.
Ads don’t only come through browsers.
Or both, both is good.
