@JSOP IIRC you also had a hosts file setup - what made you move to pi-hole ?
Using Pi-hole keeps me from having to periodically update the hosts file on almost a dozen machines. Pi-hole updates automatically, as well.

I'm using uMatrix, which allows for a bit more granularity on what you allow or disallow per site. Like Cookies, CSS, images, media, scripts, XHR, frames and others, and that per address and per site. But it gives you a very quick insight in who's able to actually program their website and who's just collecting scripts all over the internet. (hint, news sites)

The author of uMatrix just recently announced that the project is going into archive status and will no longer be maintained.

One word - Pi-hole. Get yourself a raspberry pi, install pi hole, and significantly reduce the ad payload on every device (regardless of OS used) in your house. I actually run two pi-hole devices - a primary and a secondary. Because Time-Warner (Spectrum) doesn't allow you to change the DNS server IP's on a cable modem/router, I had to configure each device to use the local Pi-Hole DNS servers, but that's a small price to pay for a relatively ad-free browsing experience. If you're concerned about allowing some sites to push ads (white-listing), have no fear - Pi-Hole supports that.

I don't know. I saw the announcement on slashdot. I don't use uMatrix myself.
