It sure can, but so far I’ve not found much use for it. I set it up to see if it can block YouTube ads in the mobile app, but it can’t. Since I already use uBlock Origin, I don’t know what I gain
At least from my experience, with a proper blacklist it shuts down a ton more stuff. Not just pure ads, but a ton of tracking and websites/apps phoning home too. You can configure it to be as strict or lenient as you’d like, basically. For me it’s nice, because I can just apply it to the entire network, and I don’t have to worry about trying to explain how this works to my family

Yeah but can it host PiHole?

Maybe I’ll give it a go again, after all it does have a really nice slick WebUI
Check out the Star Trek theme for PiHole! It’s one of the default options.
