I personally visit "a great many websites" daily, and rarely have this problem. Maybe it's uBlock doing it's job, or maybe it's the kind of site you go to?

- dreamcompiler 6y agoOr maybe I need to try uBlock again rather than assuming my Pihole is as good as it gets. Thanks for the suggestion.
- scaladev 6y agoOf course it isn't. Pihole and similar DNS-based blockers do nothing for those kinds of spam which require performing DOM manipulations to be removed. Check uBlock settings after installing it. It has a separate "annoyances" list. I enabled everything in it a few years ago and never had a single problem. It removes all the GDPR banners, "please give us your email" popups, useless "oh I am so original" plates in forum signatures, etc. etc.
- FlashBlaze 6y agoI wasn't aware of this option in settings. Thanks.
- livre 6y agoIf the default annoyances lists aren't enough for you you can also add this one[1] [1] https://github.com/yourduskquibbles/webannoyances https://github.com/yourduskquibbles/webannoyances
- mchusma 6y agoI've never been bothered by ads/want to support sites I visit. so never considered using javascript blockers. But I must say I hate GDPR banners and this could convert me.
- 3gg 6y agoThanks for the tip. I wasn't aware that uBlock had all those extra options.
- rusticpenn 6y agoI would suggest ublock origin instead of ublock.
- arbol 6y agoPihole blocks server requests but ublock can do a whole lot more to the page by blocking specific html, css, and scripts. Ublock will prevent YouTube ads, for example, whereas pihole cannot as they come from the same server as the content.
