Pihole does nothing on YouTube as their ads are served on the save server as the videos.
I know, but they help with the ads on the website itself. Not the videos.
But you have ublock? It's just redundant at that point.
Pihole works wonders for mobile apps in general. Especially games. Ublock and pihole are similar but different enough to use both. Yes, ublock is overall better for browsers. But for network wide coverage, including smart TV'S, mobile apps, iot stuff like ring cameras etc.
I agree with this since I myself use PiHole, but it is redundant on a browser which uses ublock - and that was my original point.
Piehole would be the “whole house/device” Adblock protection. Ublock is the one device Adblock. Fair to use both in my opinion.
What? PiHole doesn’t block YouTube ads yet. It’s needed. Having two Adblock’s isn’t a problem either.
no it's not. It's convenient, but not needed. Same goes for adblockers, they are not needed, but are very convenient.
Yes it is. Is there any advantage to having 4 different adblock extensions on your browser? No, it only increases the attack surface to your browser. PiHole is useful for everything but web browsing since you can use an adblocker, such as ublock origin.
It would help on other websites and on some in-app ads from mobile devices
Yes but on the same browser it is redundant.
Redundancies being a bad thing is a very capitalist point of view.
how? lol
uBlock is NOT redundant as many ads today are not served from 3rd party domains. PiHole is redundant as it doesn't do crap.
do you realise that ublock origin blocks ads from remote domains right? Enable "I am an advanced user" and be shocked to see how many external resources it allows and blocks.
Did you even read my comment?
Did you read mine? Like how fucking stupid are you to just regurgitate my exact point.
