Yes but u can install Ublock -AdGard on every machine.DNS filtering is only useful for IoT deviceS.
Dns filtering has its use but for a home user it should be the last option.Thanks for the update. My knowledge on this topic is from another century.![]()
You do not understand it, because VPN is important to you. That is normal.they don't, however, they can block third-party domains that host ads.dns filtering is useless cuz it gets bypass if you want to use a VPN or proxy.
I don't understand the logic behind Pin-hole and similar services like AdGuard Home
You could, but uBlock's limited to browsers so desktop/mobile applications are still free to display ads. AdGuard's an option but a lifetime subscription for 4 PC/Mac + 4 Android is over $300 while building a Pi-Hole is around $40 or less if you spring for a cheaper Pi model.Yes but u can install Ublock -AdGard on every machine.DNS filtering is only useful for IoT deviceS.
Thx, I had missed thatThey don't hence why i said it doesn't have the ability to filter at the same degree and quality as normal extension or whatever filtering.
DNS filtering has an advantage to add some protection against the malware by blocking the connection with the malicious URLs (outside the web browser). If the chosen DNS works well (no Internet speed degradation) then why not use it.Dns filtering has its use but for a home user it should be the last option.
Correct, as long as adguard dns is as fast as other dns for you and you are happy from the filtering quality it's a good option.DNS filtering has an advantage to add some protection against the malware by blocking the connection with the malicious URLs (outside the web browser).

Personally, I use Edge (SmartScreen) + AdGuard DNS (no application, just DNS) + WD Network Protection (part of WD ASR). Such setup, does not introduce new vulnerabilities, does not degrade the web browser performance, and is probably as safe as other solutions.
Very easy blocking mode might solve this problem:With the caveat that UBlock in its default setup causes too much trouble and too many calls to me.
Try AdGuard extension.I skimmed this thread, or at least the last couple of pages. What would the recommendation be for browser and browser extensions for adblocking and general protection (pup/phising/malware) for family members and those less savy? With the caveat that UBlock in its default setup causes too much trouble and too many calls to me.
For family, I always keep on the safe browsing feature of the browser. Some combined Ad & Malware links blockers use filter lists which trigger some websites (at least in Holland e.g. nu.nl) to not show video's or even blocking content with a transparent overlay pop-up.I skimmed this thread, or at least the last couple of pages.

Avira Browser Safety If I'm not mistaken has the same engine as AdguardI skimmed this thread, or at least the last couple of pages.

Thanks Moonhorse.Netcraft been updated today 15h january
What's new in version 1.13.0?
• URLs can now be directly reported from within the extension
• Site data now refreshes if the current page redirects
• Styling updates to the options and blocked pages
For those who want to buy a lifetimelicense maybe take a look at Block Ads to Optimize Your Internet Experience & Protect Your Devices From Malware . They have a 2pc+2android for 29.99$ atleast thats how i understand it.. AdGuard's an option but a lifetime subscription for 4 PC/Mac + 4 Android is over $300 while building a Pi-Hole is around $40 or less if you spring for a cheaper Pi model.
So what does it do that other filters can't?I think this filter (for ublock only) is worth adding
