Pi-hole (https://pi-hole.net/ https://pi-hole.net/) is a great ad blocker that requires no changes to your clients.
- mouse_ 4y agoI feel like, for those asking for cursory information about setting up an ad blocker, ublock origin should be recommended, and not pi-hole. Ublock Origin is a one click solution that works great for everyone, while pi-hole requires setup and does quite a lot. For instance, when I was using pi-hole, Windows Update and Epic Games Launcher simply stopped working for me. I'm not sure what was going on, it could have been something wrong on my end, but nonetheless, I'd hate having to help a user with issues like this after recommending pi-hole when all they wanted in the first place was a simple ad blocker. In my opinion, pi-hole is great, but it should only be brought up in cases where the user has already communicated they want something more than UBO.
- anonymousiam 4y agoI respect your feelings, but Ublock Origin is not available on my Android phone or on my iPad. It's also not available for all browsers. It may not work for you, but for me Pi-hole is a wonderful solution for my whole family, and they don't ever need me to touch their devices in order for it to work for them.

- mackrevinack 4y agoalso kiwi browser, which is chrome based
- adgjlsfhk1 4y agoit works on android (as long as you use firefox)
- mouse_ 4y agoI use ublock origin on my web browser in Android (firefox).
- cld8483 4y agoThat's fine if you have no other option, but it is inferior to uBlock Origin since it can't do any cosmetic filtering. Better to use pi-hole on your network for clients that have no other choice, but to then also use uBlock Origin on any client you can.
