Yeah, sorry, no. As for reporting sites that break, that's a good thing to do in general, but not too good if you want to use the site now.
- dredmorbius 9y agoThe "it's too complicated for the average user" is most of the "other reasons" I was referring to. Pi-Hole is far more streamlined (and largely reduces to "dnsmasq plus a lot of blocked domains"). My point was that if you're going the blockfile route, you can punch specific holes.
