Raspberry Pi uses on a home network

[AZ Pete]

I'm also in the process of setting up a PiHole server. In the reading I've done so far (and as I understand things), the Pihole server would block any DNS requests to the ad server itself. So, the ad would never be retrieved onto your network in the first place. Websites can detect if you have an ad-blocker extension in your browser and then present a page indicating such. Since you no longer need said browser extension there isn't a way that a given website could detect that you've blocked an ad.

At least that's my understanding. I'll let the web developers on the list chime in. :)
