NextDNS is also great for this kind of blocking.

Pihole or similar DNS blocking. I can’t recommend it enough. My smart TVs are the #1 offender on my network. The only thing that will try to pull in more ads are my wife’s mobile games.

Can confirm, pi hole is awesome.
Some initial configuration required especially if you are doing it by device instead of at the router, but the results are well worth it.

Can confirm, well worth the $30 for the Libre le Potato that I run it on.

Wait, can I run pihole on any device? (I’ll probably look it up in the meantime)
Rognaut@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yes! You can run piHole on nearly any linux device.
