What was this guy doing to break his pihole all the time? I can't remember the last time I logged into mine at all.

Mine has not broken exactly, but some sites just break.

As in I cannot click the buttons to decline or accept cookies or scroll the page. I'll have to open my Pi-Hole's page and disable blocking for a few seconds and refresh the broken page.

I know it has worked when the page dims and the buttons are more in focus. Decline, site works again.

The problem is that some of the block lists are just too eager on the blocking.

I don’t see how the author can claim that NextDNS or AdGuard are any better in that regard though, as they rely on the same lists.

I have a lot of domains on my lists, I imported quite a few. So to be fair I may be the one causing the issues.

I may just disable the ones I imported for a while and see if anything changes.

Looking at the screenshots, it looks like you can manage some lists and apply block and allows.

But yes, what is the difference? He literally says NextDNS is basically a Saas Pi-Hole.

Sounds like this is just an advert for NextDNS. Who keeps breaking their Pi-Hole and how?

EDIT

Looks like Pi-Hole just got an update, the UI looks a bit different.

I've disabled all my adlists but the default one, gone from 600k+ domains down to 125k. I'll see if it improves things.

I've got a friend coming over who complains about my connection, she uses Apple products where I have Windows and my phone is Android and it seems to cause her problems. She is also constantly on Facebook, Instagram and a few other platforms that rely on spying on you. So she is a great test as well.
