Reply to comment by twovests in remember to re-root your phone at least once every 6 months, or you will forget how to do it and you will be very sad and confused, like me by twovests

Pi-hole? Yea it's as easy as it could possibly be, though like youtube is really good at getting around adblockers and does give Pi-hole trouble. It'd be cool for stuff like smart TVs and news apps. I'm not sure if it's really practical for most people but I like its philosophy a lot.

Ah I meant the ad-blocking stuff. I was asking, is it easy and accessible for folks who don't know much about computers? Because if so, that's a big advantage over rooting (and over pi-hole).

Oh yea safari content blockers rule, it's just download an app and flip some switches in the settings. Easy to turn off too if something breaks, just hold down the refresh button.
