I just ran
Where 192.168.0.3 is the address of my Pi (yours will be different. Probably 192.168.1.176) |
Yeah that was my thought as well.. But how does an addin like Adblock know to block the same ad? |
I see they use css injecting as well.. |
Yeah adblock looks for certain advertisements using the Pi-hole blocks the ad from even loading (by using DNS) - but if the ad is on a trusted server (like investing.com), then there's not much you could do. |
@poblabs said it well. The Pi-hole cuts ads off at the source for an entire domain or subdomain, where as ABP uses CSS-injection. Each has their own strengths/weaknesses. As is true of many things in technology, a layered approach usually works best. Personally, I use the Pi-hole for blocking the majority of ads and saving bandwidth, and then I supplement it with ABP for cases like this. Since it's not really an issue with the functionality of the Pi-hole itself, rather the specific site/ad combo, I will close this issue. |
As screenshot shows site is added to blacklist, ping is adblock but ads are still getting through...
Browser i MS Edge.
I've cleared EVERYTHING in edge... any ideas or things that would be worth testing?
