I 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.
