I'm interested, but ultimately always decide against it because I don't know what happens if sites stop working because of a missing advertising library.
Some sites don't load, and it's easy in uBlock to whitelist the site temporarily. Obviously the ad library writers should write their scripts in such a way that if the script doesn't load it doesn't bring down the site, but of course this goes against their revenue stream...
Also sometimes you have false positives... In NodeBB if you create a new topic that contains the word "advertising", you won't be able to access it. Oops!
How can a PiHole be shut down or allow access to a site? It's trivially easy on Firefox...
Edit: it seems there's a fully featured web interface, so I'll definitely be taking a closer look at this. Thanks for the recommendation!

Yeah, sure. Like that's about to happen.
This is an advertorial, btw, they're trying to sell their product:

Super easy to setup and incredibly effective.
Don't forget to donate a couple of bucks to the developers.
