Rather than sandbox the ads, pihole simply kills the DNS request for the ad resources - unlike most ad blockers the vast majority of ad/tracking resources simply never reach your computer, eliminating the need to dump them into a sandbox. In practice I've found it works on preventing ads on most sites that otherwise detect ad blockers and put up a "nag wall". For me anyway it's been much more effective than the browser based solutions, and with none of the DOM manipulation overhead etc.
Also has really nice advantage of blocking ads on devices that don't support adblocker extensions - games consoles, tv streaming boxes etc.
