I'm currently using a pi-hole, but run OpenWrt on my router. I see that both adblock and AdGuardHome are available in its repos. Did you have any particular reason to go with adblock?

That looks interesting. I'm using a pi-hole now, but it seems that AdGuardHome can be installed directly on my (OpenWrt) router. Does anyone here have experience with that?

Interestingly, the article computes the odds incorrectly: "... hit the same number on seven consecutive spins [...] the odds of which happening are 114billion to one...", which actually are the odds of having 7 consecutive 19s or

I used to strongly support the mission of Mozilla. When I first read about the practices of upper management I felt like a fool for ever having donated in the past. That is not going to happen again and I don't even like Firefox so muc
