cascade VS Pi-hole

The FirefoxCSS community has a bunch of mods that are easy to install and you can make it super minimal (I haven't found a comparable "single tab" one, but here's a mod that's super clean and minimal: https://github.com/andreasgrafen/cascade)

Lepton, Firefox-GX, SimpleFox, Cascade

I would suggest cascade https://github.com/andreasgrafen/cascade

When most people hear the word themes they probably think of these. Some people might have even made their own themes using the Firefox Color add-on (shameless plug). However, css themes allow for much, much, much, much, much, much, much more customisation and tweaking.

I'm a big fan of andreasgrafen's Cascade theme, but I wanted to tweak it to use the exact dark mode colours from Apple's design guidelines for macOS Big Sur.

I've just pushed an alternative config file that should be closer to the experience that Waterfall offers by default. c:

In the screenshot below, I'm rockin' a one liner theme called: [Cascade](https://github.com/andreasgrafen/cascade) (Similar to [SimpleFox](https://github.com/migueravila/SimpleFox)). Oh, I use a̶r̶c̶h̶ artix linux btw (BSPWM) so I don't have a window frame on any of my applications. This makes the theme fit even better. Though, I must say, the following questions pertain to Firefox in-general and are not theme specific questions.

Si te preguntas, ¿por qué no usar Adguard o Pihole? 🤔

This is an overreaction, almost to the point of absurdity.

Risks inherent to pipe installers are well understood by many. Using your logic, we should abandon Homebrew [1] (>38k stars on GitHub), PiHole [2] (>46k stars on GitHub), Chef [3], RVM [4], and countless other open source projects that use one-step automated installers (by piping to bash).

A more reasonable response would be to coordinate with the developers to update the docs to provide alternative installation methods, rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Pi-hole to block ads and tracking for my less technically savvy relatives

I ran a competing project[0] on my home network for a few years before I discovered NextDNS[1]. What I lost in performance (requests don't leave my house) I gained in portability: ALL my devices can take advantage – at home and away – and time-saved. PiHole works 90% of the time, but when it did stop working, I'd have to spend a bit of time fixing it. At $20/year, I simply couldn't compete with NextDNS.

Note: This isn't a shill for NextDNS; I love these kinds of projects and think they absolutely should exist, but NextDNS just happens to be one of those dead-simple SaaS tools that is an insanely good value.

It definitely IS an option, but at the network level.

It runs on damn near everything, and is a DNS level adblocker for the whole network.

I recently switched to Wipr [0]. It’s dead simple to use, and will auto update its filter lists in the background.

Adguard [1] is a decent free option.

I also use a Pi-hole [2] on my network.

Are you trying to build a DNS proxy (similar to Pi-hole) that intercepts DNS requests and checks for the ones that look harmful? If so, I would suggest trying to separately build a DNS client and a DNS server, before trying to integrate them together. Start with Beej's Guide to Network Programming if you need to learn the basics of sockets, and then take a look at the documents that define the DNS protocol itself (RFC1034 and RFC1035).

Setup a pi-hole.

It's definitely not as simple as installing an app on your phone, but I run a Pi-hole on my home network, and it does block ads in many games.
