@nixCraft uBo is better on Firefox anyway due to the DNS API.
Moz FTW.
Also, don't forget DNS-based content blockers if you have or can get the kit - Raspberry Pi + AdGuard is great.

@nixCraft @tdp_org this doesn't work with google though, hence the existence of uBO.

@ludiofines @nixCraft @tdp_org How's that not working? My Pi-Hole at home blocks all ads afaict.

@tbroyer @nixCraft @tdp_org well pihole is dns aware only and google uses same domain for ads and for vids.

@ludiofines @nixCraft @tdp_org You're only talking about Youtube right?

(wrt doh/dot, Chrome uses the machine's DNS resolver by default AFAIK, and if not the default it's easy to change)

@tdp_org @tbroyer @nixCraft sure. i also assumed google and yt is same thing. regardless they would use the same domains, and deliver the ads on the application layer. w/o special settings in the client side dns filters only aren't fully self-suficient. of course i'd like to know if that's not the case.

@tdp_org @nixCraft I switched back from AdGuard to Pi-hole as it provides better support for custom domains, but AdGuard is smaller and simpler.

This is the Breath :verified:

@tdp_org @nixCraft can you do this with a pihole, or does this service stay more updated?
