Of course it isn't. Pihole and similar DNS-based blockers do nothing for those kinds of spam which require performing DOM manipulations to be removed. Check uBlock settings after installing it. It has a separate "annoyances" list. I enabled everything in it a few years ago and never had a single problem. It removes all the GDPR banners, "please give us your email" popups, useless "oh I am so original" plates in forum signatures, etc. etc.

Thanks for the tip. I wasn't aware that uBlock had all those extra options.

I wasn't aware of this option in settings. Thanks.

If the default annoyances lists aren't enough for you you can also add this one[1]

I've never been bothered by ads/want to support sites I visit. so never considered using javascript blockers.

But I must say I hate GDPR banners and this could convert me.
