I’ve started seeing more shit like this, even TVs in exam rooms with ads like this.

    Setting up a pi-hole is as easy as some kind of baked desert. Flash your OS to the SD card, boot, install. Follow the prompts and you’ll be golden. The hardest part, depending on your router, may potentially be giving it a static IP and setting it as your DNS server, but those steps are also usually pretty easy.

      Thank you! I’m going through the install instructions from the website. Anything particular needed to block all Google Analytics and trackers?

        It’s pretty much just does it.
        Default settings are good.
        I think you can dial in stricter block lists, but might have issues with some websites.
        But you can pause PiHole for 5 minutes, allowing you to do what you need to. I think there is even browser plugins to give you an easy toggle button
