DNS-based ad blocking is unfortunately much less effective. It's still better than nothing though, that's for sure.

A multi-layered approach is the best approach. My pi-hole blocks advertising domains, malware domains, etc. That helps tremendously with all the “smart” devices that include DVRs, streaming devices, etc. where you can’t install something like ublock. I also make sure something like ublock is installed wherever possible.

Yup. I've got DNS, IP lists, zenarmor, and browser extensions
