So I reinstalled everything and the latest pihole just came with one adlist, about 250K entries.

I mostly just want to make sure we’re blocking adware and trackers but malware, crypto nonsense, etc… would be good too.

Thanks for suggestions.

    Since YT ads are served from youtube.com, software like Pihole isn’t effective at blocking them.

    I use a client-side solution in my browser (Firefox) called uBlock Origin to block them and it works very well, without any special config needed. That extension is great for lots of blocking tasks, in general.

        For my Rokus, I just make sure I have rules in place for blocking their ad / tracking domains and AFAIK that works well. But that just addresses their behind-the-scenes trackers. If you’re seeing ads in the UI, I don’t know about that. (I don’t)
