I love the idea behind the Pi-hole: block ads at the DNS layer so ads never even reach your devices. No ads, no trackers, and no worries about your extensions breaking! Works network-wide! Unfortunately, it caused me more grief than joy. I love most things…
Mine has not broken exactly, but some sites just break.
As in I cannot click the buttons to decline or accept cookies or scroll the page. I’ll have to open my Pi-Hole’s page and disable blocking for a few seconds and refresh the broken page.
I know it has worked when the page dims and the buttons are more in focus. Decline, site works again.

The problem is that some of the block lists are just too eager on the blocking.
I don’t see how the author can claim that NextDNS or AdGuard are any better in that regard though, as they rely on the same lists. 🤦
