Finally got around to installing pi-hole on the family network, with a fairly aggressive set of blocklists.
So far, 34% of all DNS queries have been rejected as spam, ads, tracking, or junk, and yet nobody has complained about things not working.
That surprises me. Not the amount of junk requests (modern technology has truly embraced surveillance capitalism), but that nothing seems broken.
