I guess I just don't trust Windows discord and Nvidia. I don't think DNS filtering will protect you if they control the computer
Or android, ios, consoles, ... :p
These are all devices pihole can help with that ublock cant. A combination of the 2 is key
Well on android you can install browser extensions so that's not a problem.
Anyway my point is that Ublock origin can be more than enough for many people who don't use such devices.
Right, but again, thats only browser stuff. If i say android i mean the actual operating system and all applications/services that are running on your phone.
My point was that ublock is limited to a browser, and there is so much stuff that can be blocked, more than just ads.
Im not saying ublock is useless, or that average joe shouldnt use it btw. I run it on my phone and pc in firefox, but i also have a pihole for so much more.
