I'd rather recommend this one: https://newpipe.schabi.org/ At least it is opensource and works great.

#12Pi-Hole has made my home browsing experience so much better since setting it up. Minimal resource overhead, maximum results - and if you care about stats those are available too but I just turned all logging off. Now if it could just filter out YouTube ads...
> Now if it could just filter out YouTube ads... Ive heard that the problem is that the native YT apps come with a big list of IP addresses for the ad servers, instead of doing lookups.
If true, it would be pretty easy to grab those ip addresses from the binary and add them to a firewall.
A firewall is a little more than what I would trust to a raspberry pie, though...

#13I host pihole on Digital Ocean. Updated DNS on all my home clients. Smooth and adfree

Protect it how exactly? You can create firewall rules on DigitalOcean and limit the IP addresses from which the DNS server is accessible.

#15Server is down, right? Not for this case (which I assume is caused by the HN effect) but one downside of this kind of blockers (I also use uBlock in the browser) is that when something doesn't work well in a website, I'm never confident that it's because the site is broken and not because my blockers are breaking it :-)
I know, you can just disable the blocker and try again, but doing so from my phone is not very convenient...

#18Per client blocking is clearly the biggest change. I am excited about this.
What is the use case of per client blocking?
