I ran into too many problems with pihole breaking sites so I just turned it off.

  You should look at the oisd blacklist. It's curated to ensure that it doesn't break anything and in my testing The last 3 months, it lives up to its name very well. I haven't had any sites break or any reports from the kids about things not working. Prior to that the block list I use would sometimes stop the Apple store from working and those sorts of things, it was very annoying.

    Or perhaps https://v.firebog.net/hosts/lists.php?type=tick https://v.firebog.net/hosts/lists.php?type=tick via https://v.firebog.net/hosts/lists.php https://v.firebog.net/hosts/lists.php which also describes 'Whitelisting Suggestions'.

      There's lots of other solutions, but I've had zero problems since swithcing to osid and I pipe a lot of things (Nintendo Switch, kids iPads, my Google phones, my laptops) through it and it hasn't given me a single issue. It certainly DOES let through a few more trackers, but that's the cost of a list that doesn't cause problems.

  That's like saying your seatbelt is uncomfortable so you don't wear it while you're driving. Don't take it off, find a solution to make it work. Use a better block list (OISD has been mentioned already), or use NextDNS. Neither of those cause breaks in most sites and stop the most bothersome/prevalent ads.

  True, more and more sites get broken, even page content for our DMV website. I've gotten used to activating the pi-hole Disable for N seconds/minutes feature regularly.
