Pi-hole is cool, but only works on your home network unless you use a VPN to connect back home and funnel all traffic over the connection. I'll continue putting my trust in uBlock Origin on FF for now, until I hear about any malicious PRs that get merged in /shrug/

You can wind up a Linux VDS with dnsmasq and blacklist of domains, then use it on any device everywhere.

  If you trust your ability to secure a publicly-accessible DNS server. Pretty attractive target. Also, you can't usually specify DNS servers on cellular connections. The VPN setup would address that.

    As a subscriber to Debian Security mail list from 2013 I'd got 2 emails on vulnerabilities in dnsmasq. I don't think anyone should trust cellular connections at all for many reasons. Especially because my country (Russia) is the only one in Europe which has an office of CEIEC (chinese surveillance gov company) which as of now makes Orwell's tales come true in Xinjang.
