Hello guys,

why use adblock if you have pihole already? 

there are various blockers who do not harmonize, such as uBlock fights Ghostery.

I guess one has to settle for a single one.

This is nonsense, it doesn't "force" ads. If anything, the integrated AdBlock may fail to block some ads, but that may also be because of your filters.

I use PiHole for my whole network. AdBlock is useful in hotels and public access points like train, bar etc.. Currently I have to switch on/off adblock in falcon. If I use chromium + uBlock so it works as expected and I haven't to desable it in my "PiHole" network.
