Pi-hole on a raspberry pi zero-2 W. The thing I like the most is that you can run it with unbound as an upstream DNS provider, so you can have your own private DNS at home without filtering your traffic to another DNS provider.
The web is such a cleaner experience without it! I was using no script to just allow individual scripts for sites that I wanted to function like normal but for 90% of the web I can get by with like no JS.
It did shock me on my initial tour around Lemmy just how many sites want to have JS enabled. Fine now that I’ve got a ‘home instance’, and only have to enable that.
If it’s an understandable amount of ads, I’ll disable ad block. If the site bombards me with an unjustifiable amount of ads (like adblock-tester level of ads) then I’ll re enable adblock in seconds. Same goes for if they serve scam ads like those ‘virus detected’ or ‘hot singles in your area’ malvertisements

Rules:
Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
If i decide to, sometimes I’ll block the blocking elements with ublock. Sometimes it breaks the site sometimes it gets you through.
Adblock detection blocker!
Don’t forget the blocker for adblock detection blocker detection!
Unlock can do this sometimes. But other times the website locks the scroll bar and I haven’t figured out how to get around that
Press F12 and search for ‘buffer overflow’, and delete those lines. That should get the scroll working again on most sites.

There we go

Anyone an Adgaurd user? My favorite is a good old pi-hole on an old Raspberry pi 3, but for software I like it.
Pi-hole on a raspberry pi w here. Love it SOO much!

I’ll ask me fellow pirates for help [email protected]
If ever this happens, I think of it a challenge. Most of these are easy enough to get around.
If I can’t get around it, then I’ll bring the issue to the larger ublock origin community.
JavaScript off by default ftw

Yea, same. Ads have gotten so obnoxious to the point where the freaking FBI considers adblock an essential part of proper internet hygiene.
And remember, if the page actually had useful content that wasn’t click bait or some shit. Be nice… remove the adblocker and reload.
They gotta pay bills too, having infrastructure deployed to serve content is not free. Don’t kill their business if they have quality content.

The first time a toxic ad shows up the ad block goes right back up though.
It’s their prerogative to refuse serving. It’s my prerogative to go somewhere else. Adblocker stays up, sorry.
And where is that somewhere else? If everyone asks to disable the adblocker, then you’re pretty much denied that info.
