Unless I'm missing something there are no ads here to block?

Good question though, I have a Pi here on my desk doing nothing (used to leave it on 24/7 for torrents used Transmission).

I didn't mean on this site in particular.

I use it and find it great, but am seeing something odd over on thejournal.ie this morning.

Almost looks like they are surfacing an non clickable image of an ad...

Blokada works for me on Android and IOS. You need to download the apk from their website manually but the app store one is great.

Think a pi hole is only needed now for smart TVs.

Yes I use pihole at home to block ads on all devices including Apple. I'm not running it on a pi though, I have it running in docker on my server.

When I'm out and about on my phone I use next DNS, it's pretty much pihole in the cloud

I use a VM with PiHole which works a treat, it's installed on a Synology diskstation.
