Is there a big advantage to a pihole in addition to ublock?

[–] slouching_employer@lemmy.one 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Pihole will also block non-browser traffic (e.g. your OS phoning home). Adblocking extensions are typically restricted to just blocking traffic of the browser it’s installed on.

It also operates on your entire home network, so it can block junk traffic on devices that can’t run adblockers.
