Requests to ad domains don't take longer - they're faster, since 0.0.0.0 (the sinkhole) will answer the query, instead of some internet Ad IP.

- Thorrez 4y agoThen the request will fail right, since the https cert doesn't match? Or are you installing a custom root CA? Loading faster is also probably detectable, especially if there's some request that the server intentionally replies slowly to to aid detection.
- Helmut10001 4y agoYou're right, in this case the https will fail and this will indeed (mostly) slow down loading of Ads. I was wrong - although, personally, I do not observe slower loading times for pages, even though some ad-urls are failing. There are indeed some very rare pages (like zdf.de) that won't load at all because they have a very aggressive ad/surveillance checking.
