Search giant says delays not specific to any browser – just those evading advert breaks. YMMV

    I wish PiHole wasn’t so absolute dogshit about DNS requests from outside the local subnet, might use it then

      Permit all origins, allow all destinations. In the settings.

          Open an issue on the forums if it hasn’t already been fixed.

          Mine doesn’t revert.

          What OS/computer?

            Tried it bare metal on a Pi 4 and as a VM. I have my LAN using the 10.0.0.0/8 space and I couldn’t have DNS breaking all the time

              And it would set itself back?

                Yep. Default is to not reply to DNS outside the subnet it’s in, and it would randomly flip back to that

                  Open a bug report; that shouldn’t happen.

                  Also, think about running two DNS servers

      I’m going to try ad guard today… That way I can keep my DHCP

      Update: adguard does not block YouTube ads.

        You can use PiHole without their DHCP.

          Oh yeah? I didn’t know. I thought I read on the pihole website that if you use pihole on a system on your network, you have to use static ips and cannot use DHCP.

            Nope. You can use whatever DHCP server you’d like; you just have to set the pihole as your DNS server in DHCP.
