Shit like this is why I use ad blockers and route all my home network traffic through a Pi Hole.
If Google gets their way with their evil "Web Environment Integrity" bullshit this is going to get so. Much. Worse.
The whole internet at that point would be pretty much 100% ad and 100% unusable at that point with the "wEb InTeGrItY" bullshit they're pushing.
Really hoping it fails or it's just another abandoned Google project, but it's deeply worrisome for us netizens.
Hey! My husband is thinking about doing something similar with his, can you share any resources you used? He's done programming before but never with a raspberry pi, and he's not sure where to start.
You can follow pi hole website to do it https://pi-hole.net/
Very easy, straight forward, and well explained.
The only thing you might want to check before buying something or trying this is if your router allows to set custom dns servers. Basically,connect to your router, and check the step 3, and see if it has the option for it. From my understanding some might not have the option.
Not necessary, but a next step can also be to install a VPN and route your mobile phone thru it too. Means you are also covered on the go, so no ads on mobile too , when you aren't home too !
This is great advice. The other advice I would give is to make sure the household is prepared for the impact of routing everything through a pihole. There are quite a few things out there on the internet that will simply stop working with the default block lists. Yes, that is obviously the point. But it is helpful to prepare everyone with how to do temporary allows, and have a strategy for what type of things you might want to whitelist and which you're content with leaving blocked. Otherwise it can be very jarring especially at the beginning.
Thanks for the heads up! That's definitely something we hadn't considered. We'll start looking into it!
Very helpful! We are already looking into a VPN, just undecided which one to go with, so I'll send this comment to him. Thank you!
