Google is weakening ad blockers as part of their MV3 extension standard and this will trickle down into all Chromium browsers. Built in ad blockers lack features compared to uBlock Origin as well.

    Pihole has always worked as expected on my Pixel phones. To the point that I have to drop off of our wifi to visit some sites when they don’t load correctly. Pihole is happening at the router level though, not a setting on my phone. Unless Android starts tunneling around it (I wouldn’t put this past Google), then all traffic will continue to go through Pihole since it’s going through our router. Any device connected to our network has Pihole as its DNS.

      Ah, I see. That’s my big difference. I’m penciling it into each device as the chosen DNS server per device, which Android doesn’t like.

      I’ve never trusted that one raspberrypi enough to aim my whole router at it and hope my network stays up while I’m gone.
