      Interest based ads that everyone who has connected to the same wifi as you will now see. And it’s not just interest based ads. They will use this to calculate your whole personality and manipulate you and others based on that.

        My PiHole would beg to differ.

          Every house needs a PiHole. I set mine up years ago and haven’t touched it since.

          I should probably update it.

        I’m happy to assist anyone on my wifi with installing an adblocker.

        And unless google is using my data to hang a personalised billboard on my way to work, I’m not gonna be seeing any of them.
