So like the tittle says. I have a pihole running at home which blocks loads of ads and also the google add service. Which worked flawless for me and my family. But recently I got a load of complains that not a single link was working. This is odd. and i go and look at my dads browser and since about i week 99% of all search results are sponsored links. What is also strange is that it are about 5 to 6 links per page. almost exclusively the sponsored links. Now i never have this issue not even when using google.com But i am using firefox Which does not seem to get so many sponsored links. And shows a load more results per page on google.com.
Any idea what is going on here and if their is a fix? I get that my family does not want to make the switch to firefox. How unfortunate that is.
I know about librewolf and alternative browsers. But my family is kinda glued on to using chrome. And getting them to change browser is kinda the last resort imo.
I understand. Then try installing ublock origin. Pihole is great and all but it cannot do as deep block as u block origin since pihole only blocks dns queries. Ublock origin will run scripts in the browser which a dns server cannot do.
