DNS adblockers like PiHole are certainly useful, but they don't provide as clean or comprehensive of an experience as a proper ad-blocking extension. For example, bypassing adblock detectors, cleaning up pages that get mangled by the removal of ads, removing ads hosted by the same domain as the desired content, and other things that could never really be accomplished with a domain blocklist.
