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.

You definitely need to jailbreak an iphone to get the hosts file. What ios offers is safari content blocking which allows apps to provide a list to safari of things to block. I use 1Blocker. You can use whatever app you want to manage lists but the actual blocking mechanism is always the same and always really fast.

I haven't set it up yet but I'm really interested in using a Pi-hole to block ads at the network level instead of on a device.
