I just set up a pi hole, I was late to the party.

So much shit is pushed from our PCs, and phones. 49.85% of requests are blocked by it.

It's even more horrifying when you realize that's a lower bound. It doesn't even include dynamically loaded ads from the same domains, and it doesn't include ads that can't be blocked because it would stop services from working.

Infuriating, isn't it? Half of all requests are completely unnecessary and serve you no purpose
