uBlock Origin is indeed incredibly easy to enable, that's why It's my backup when I'm away from home (and I use it on Firefox/Aurora for Android when mobile).
However you might be overstating the difficulty of deploying a DNS server a tiny bit, especially Pi-Hole.
You don't need dedicated hardware per-se, but a small investment in the form of a Raspberry PI (even Zero is fine) makes the deployment almost trivial in most environments.
I'd also recommend looking into Orange PI, not only is it cheaper but I believe it's also POE powered, making it even more elegant on supported routers and switches.
Install, use it's IP as the DHCP DNS entry, done.
It comes with real time stats so false positives are relatively easy to identify, I've never had to do it.
