So what could I do in this situation other than give AdGuard Home a try and, depending on the outcome of the review period, replace Pi-hole? Thanks to Docker I had my own instance of AdGuard Home up and running in a matter of minutes.īefore getting into the actual review I want to give you a bit of information on how AdGuard Home blocks ads and trackers and why it might be the better alternative to browser extensions. And the fact that the Pi-hole Home Assistant Community Add-on was ditched in favour of AdGuard Home made me all the more curious.
This was coming from people I respect so my interest was most certainly piqued. While researching that application I kept reading about how AdGuard Home is better in every way in comparison to Pi-hole. It's hard enough for a lot of websites to stay afloat, never mind turn a profit, without us cutting their throats with ad-blockers.Just recently I published a review of the popular ad and tracking blocker named Pi-hole. They need Ad revenue, or user donations to survive. Please also support the websites you use every day. In case you don't trust the URL I have posted for you, here is Peter's website, which if you are going to use his list I recommend visiting, even if just to support his work with Patreon, the link to support him is at the top of the page, or you can click here.Īnother possibly unpopular opinion, but what the heck. Within the pop-up, you can further choose whether new rules are added automatically, or if you wish to review them manually first.
It's easy to use, you simply copy THIS URL and in Little Snitch's Rules window, click on the + in the bottom left corner. Which saves hassle if you use more than one browser, for instance. However, if as suggested, you have Little Snitch I would also suggest using Peter Lowe's blocklist whether you use an an-blocker or not, as it works system wide. I have been using 1Blocker with Safari since December and it has been great.
