I know that I'm at fault here for using such services, but Pihole can't block the ads that are hosted on the same server as the service, eg. Half the ads on Youtube.

It's still really good for privacy though, blocking mIcRoSoFt spyware and all kinds of other stuft. And you can create your own blocklists.

I just got a pihole setup and im curious how youd block Microsoft stuff using it. Is it part of a blocklist or is it something you manually filtered?

one of Dan's list blocks a bunch of them, has something like 500k item on it.

Just know that DoH is probably going to ruin the fun for you. Unless your blocking all DoH hosts.

In my Opnsense setup I have some lists added to block all traffic to known DoH servers...

nextdns is also pretty good.

This is what I use, made it hard for me to move to Firefox because I already don't get ads in chrome and it is better supported, which is honestly a personal failing on my end

dns blockers are not a suitable replacement for Dom/css based blockers

Fair, but it's good enough
