Is it easy to disable adblocking on sites that won't work with adblockers? I like to have the option to disable adblocking in my toolbar. For example, certain bank websites, business websites, etc.

#14[tinfoilhat] Given that Chrome now became Google's weapon against adblocking, how long until it starts refusing to use Pi-hole specifically? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20044430 [/tinfoilhat]
How would a web browser know which DNS it's using? You set your DNS preference to point to the PI-hole and it should behave like any other DNS server. I guess it could attempt to resolve some spam domain like doubleclick.net and if it was incorrect it could complain...

#18I keep meaning to set one up one of these days. Does anyone know what effect a Pi-hole has on internet speed? I play a few games where latency is a big deal, and don't really want to artificially throttle my internet.
It shouldn't have any impact on internet speed as it only comes into the picture for DNS requests. It doesn't sit in line with your internet traffic.

#19With all the fervor around ad-blocking what I fail to see is how do you propose those sites that you visit, read their content to make money ? Are you willing to pay every site you visit or encourage them to put up pay walls ??
