privacybadger VS Pi-hole

~Using privacy plug-ins or browsers. You can block our site from setting cookies used for interest-based ads by using a browser with privacy features, like Brave, or installing browser plugins, like Privacy Badger, Ghostery or uBlock Origin, and configuring them to block third party cookies/trackers.

Everyone should install the browser extension Privacy Badger, created by the nonprofit privacy organization Electronic Frontier Foundation. It blocks tracking pixels like the ones described in this article as well as many other forms of tracking that AdBlockers do not.

If you watch on a laptop or pc, try Privacy Badger. It's a browser extension made by the EFF that's blocks third party trackers from monitoring your web activity.

Installing more extensions is the best way to compromise your security. You should keep your extension list as short as possible. So uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger which is built by the EFF

No-one should get close to the internet without running Privacy Badger and adblock.

Do you watch mlb.tv on a computer? Privacy Badger is an extension created by the EFF that's designed to block third party trackers.

I think what you may be looking for is alternative privacy options. I would highly suggest you download the web browser https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/windows/ Install the addons, https://privacybadger.org/ https://ublockorigin.com/ Make sure to enable https only mode in Firefox. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/https-only-prefs Then use a privacy oriented search engine like, https://duckduckgo.com/ Or, https://www.startpage.com/ And change your DNS to either, https://www.opendns.com/setupguide/ Or, https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/what-is-1.1.1.1/

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

https://pi-hole.net/

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.
