Someone should make a hardware equivalent, something like a Rpi that sits between your wifi router and modem, that just blocks any advertising JS. Yes, pi-hole

Yes, pi-hole exists, but i get the feeling that's considered "too nerdy". I mean something that's about the size of a rubik's cube, ethernet in/out, power, and works out of the box with zero configuration needed.

- Pesthuf 3y agoI just configured my Router to use AdGuard's DNS over TLS. No additional device needed that you need to maintain, yet all sorts of advertising domains are blocked. Still, that alone is not as effective as an extension that sits in the browser, that understands and can see the contents of the HTTP requests and responses.
