re #2: it's only two steps to install a proxy-based adblocker and then set a proxy for your internet connection. Same goes on Android.

A hosts file on a router would be much faster than anything else. Nullrouting packets before they even enter your LAN is possible the best thing you can do.

A filtering proxy takes many more CPU cycles than this solution.

This is a lot more efficient.
