How i got rid of adds

Honestly i got rid of all ads long time ago, but just recently saw how many of them there is.

Aound 2019 i got tired of ads everywhere and started to look in to blocking them on the network level and behold pihole is to save you. And only service that i wasn't able to filter ads is youtube, because they stream adds from same domains as normal content. Maybe there's workaround now but i have cheap youtube premium (~2€/month) so i dont care.

Few weeks ago one of my services started crashing or not loading properly and i played around with the pihole blocking settings and after disabling dns bloking i saw how many adds there is on the scrren e.g. picture one. I found the domains that was causing the issue and whitelisted them. So it's way easier to block adds for your network insted doing stuff in the tv itself, picture two.

Tl:dr: just use pihole
