    Is Adguard Home still a good option for this kind of thing?

  • The situation is so concerning, he notes, because there isn’t much that people can do to protect themselves from zero-click ad attacks other than blocking ads as thoroughly as possible on all websites and platforms—a fact that intelligence agencies like the NSA and CIA seem to know all too well.

    I only know the basics of networking, so I’ve been wondering why this “DNS-sinkhole” functionality can’t simply be implemented directly in private routers (as some kind of blocklist) instead of adding a new device to your network. Do routers not support this for technical or security reasons?
