Comment on Introducing Pi-hole v6

How much is Pi-hole worth it assuming I’m using UBO and also have most non-ad based streaming services?
I’m thinking phones and less often used devices?
It’s really nice for random browsing/apps. Games, free tools, general web browsing; none of it loads ads.
Some mobile games will even attempt to load ads, fail, then give you the reward for ‘watching’ the ad.
It also stops devices from phoning home to upload telemetry and blocks known malware domains. (depends on the lists you use, heres a source for some lists)
I love my pihole. Even gets rid of the ads on my roku homescreen.
I’m partial to AdGuardHome myself, but PiHole does the job well
I have both but just use pihole as a local DNS server/forwarder. I bump into too many random times where sites or redirects don’t work properly since they get blocked.

It’s extra protection, especially if you use non-browser apps on your devices it can limit tracking.
