    I do something similar. I have full control over everything. Use Firefox with UBlock. NEVER see an ad. I was super close to buying an Nvidia Shield because the box looks nice, and I’m glad I didn’t.

      Yep! I have a Pi 4 running Pihole blocking ads on network and often get thanks from the teens when they’re away from home and they realize just how many ads they would otherwise be exposed to
