Those who are a bit tech minded – consider adding DNS filtering on your home network (using pi-hole or something else). It has drastically changed my web experience for the better, including across iPhone apps, smart TVs and other surfaces where ad blockers can't help.

I see this advice a lot but I can't imagine it working better than using a system level adblocker like AdAway on my phone. (Smart TVs I understand, though mine seem to be unusually ad-less compared to what I've heard Samsung does).

What if you're out and about disconnected from WiFi? What if you need to turn the thing off for a sec to click on a sale/promotion in an email?

Out and about: yeah install something on your phone (or use a self hosted vpn that plugs into pihole? never tried it) Need to click on sale: You can easily temporarily disable it in the web interface in 1 click

It's a nice way to block ads for any wifi connected device in your house without additional setup. There are probably 10+ ad-serving devices in my house between the TV's, laptops, tablets, and phones.
