  Mine has not broken exactly, but some sites just break.

  As in I cannot click the buttons to decline or accept cookies or scroll the page. I’ll have to open my Pi-Hole’s page and disable blocking for a few seconds and refresh the broken page.

  I know it has worked when the page dims and the buttons are more in focus. Decline, site works again.

    The problem is that some of the block lists are just too eager on the blocking.

    I don’t see how the author can claim that NextDNS or AdGuard are any better in that regard though, as they rely on the same lists. 🤦

      I have a lot of domains on my lists, I imported quite a few. So to be fair I may be the one causing the issues.

      I may just disable the ones I imported for a while and see if anything changes.

      Looking at the screenshots, it looks like you can manage some lists and apply block and allows.

      But yes, what is the difference? He literally says NextDNS is basically a Saas Pi-Hole.

      Sounds like this is just an advert for NextDNS. Who keeps breaking their Pi-Hole and how?
