      Not for me 🤔 I am running PiHole and the adblock thing still shows up. Which blocklists are you using?

      How does this work? I’ve been considering using a Raspberry Pi for Pihole, but I’ve been discouraged as it wouldn’t work for YouTube anyways. How I understand it is that Pihole is DNS, which just blocks certain domains. Since Youtube ads and videos are indistinguishable from a networking POV, it won’t be able to block them. Am I wrong? Is there something I have misunderstood?

          Pi hole does not block it at all for me.

          Have you tried accessing youtube in incognito a couple of times with adblockers disabled?

          Not saying it isn’t true but I, and several other pihole users I know, still see the block without uBo

              I don’t see how it could be given that they are loading a detection script in the client.

              It has nothing to do with DNS. I suspect those saying that PiHole solves it simply haven’t been rolled out to yet (or are using adblockers but have forgotten)
