pihole is not a replacement for ublock
Use both together!
Is pi hole any better than using adguard DNS?
pihole uses the same method of blocking as adguard dns but is more configurable, and since it's usually self-hosted you have full control over it.
btw, nextdns is pretty good too (think of it as a managed configurable, slightly more private alternative to adguard dns, great if you're not into self hosting).
it lacks custom domain blocklists tho. you can add your own white/blacklisted domains but not whole lists, except ones provided by nextdns.
also, it's a paid service. free tier includes 300k requests per month, which is enough for ~1.5 devices from my experience.
It's the same technology, like how chrome and Firefox are.
Thanks for catching that. I have updated the description.
