Adverts on websites

Are they? Source? More info? Be interested to read more on that.



Heard of a lot of people running this. I have a server I can run dockers on so might look into this but would I not have to send all traffic in/out of the docker? I'll go and read up. The main thing that winds me up is when me or the kids use built in apps in the TVs like youtube or prime and it plasters and ad in there. If it would get rid of that I'm interested.

Adguard Home is a bit better than Pi-Hole tbh. It's essentially a DNS server with blocklists. Ideally you point your routers DNS at Adguard Home/Pi-Hole rather than individual devices. It won't block ads on YouTube app (should do if viewing via a web browser), and technically prime doesn't have ads, they only show previews of their other content.

At least there are blockers for normal sites. FB is a whole next level mess with them continually changes things to make them difficult to block.

FB Purity extension running in a web browser helps a lot (or simply not browsing Facebook).
