LOL... wasnt intended for people not running their own DNS server. We elite, the computeratti, run a pihole (a DNS server) on our internal networks that block ads network wide. Peasants see ads. We don’t. ;-)

I am well aware of DNS and have set up DNS servers. Pi-hole is a trade name that I have never heard of.

unless it is within an embedded app :(

I am a peasant, and I don’t see ads.

Mac Os, Brave browser, duckduckgo.

“that block ads network wide.”

How is an ad recognized?

Isn’t this functionally similar to maintaining your own hosts file in windows?

[Cboldt]

I run dnsmasq and https://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/serverlist.php?hostformat=dnsmasq

Simpletons like me just use an ad blocker, whether as an addon/extension or a browser with built in ad blocking. Ublock origin and yesScript take care of most things.
