God I do have a weird relationship with it. I have adguard set up to block ads at the DNS level, I have adblockers on everything, and yet I spent the other night binge watching “Will it Blend?”
How long did it take to un-break basically every website? I tried doing this and it made pretty much every site that had this problem unusable. I could never find a sweetspot that only blocks ads and let’s legitimate traffic through; and it caused issues with my partner’s work portals.
It weirdly didn’t break every website? It said it might, but it ended up not. No idea how, or what I did. The only issue has been my room mate plays mobile games and some of those give ads for a benefit, so they can’t watch those.
I’m using HaGeZi’s block list (https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists). Not saying it’ll work for everyone, but it doesn’t cause me any issues, even on the strictest one.
Start with the default block list. That shouldn’t break everything, if it does give examples of the problems and the sites and I’m sure we can find a solution.

You are a person of culture, and I respectfully tip my hat to you. Of course, the question left unanswered is: Did it blend?
It did blend! Many times over the span of several hours (I watched… Most of that channel that day…)
