I use a DIY DNS server as opposed to Pi-hole specifically, but I found that doing that broken sites at the most awkward times.
Imagine doing something on a site and then suddenly the it breaks... you realize why and maybe unblock something and refresh the page only to find out that you now need to enter a phone number (which Google won't accept, no matter what you do), because of your suspicious activity (looking at you Twitter, Paypal, YouTube).
Anyway... for the last several years I've worked around this by using multiple browsers and/profiles:
- Tor Browser for my usual HN, Reddit, YouTube lurking... stuff I don't need to log in for.
- One with almost no blocking (apart from the incognito mode) for banking, PayPal, etc.
- One for dev work... you get the idea.
