Hi, I was wondering, is it useful to use multiple adblockers in a row?

I don’t mean 4 or five 5 browser extensions more like a chain of adblockers, one on every passing network point.

Adblock DNS -> Pi-Hole -> Linux System with hBlock -> Browser with uBlock Origin

I have only a 10 Mbit Internet connection, so I fear that this would slowdown pageloads to much. On the other hand there are filterlists that uBlock can use where as Pi-Hole can’t.

So what combination does make sense (is efficient in every aspect) and what do you use?

    I personally only run pihole and ublock origin. Pihole takes care of the most stuff, ublock picks up the leftovers where domain blocking is not good enough. I’d like to believe this saves some juice on battery powered devices, but I’ve never actually measured it nor noticed it.

      Same config although I also use nextdns on my phone as I don’t want an outside connection to pihole.

        If you have a way to run wireguard - it’s a lifesaver. My LAN is wherever I am :)
