No it isn't? It's entirely list based, it doesn't do anything without a domain being listed to block.

Even if a third-party list you've added blocks something you don't want to block, you have an overriding whitelist.

Yes, I know? So don't block (or whitelist to override a third-party list in use) the sites you want to support?

What am I missing?

Ads are hosted by ad networks that appear on many sites.

Well sure if they're loaded directly that won't work, but it's hardly Pi-Hole's fault, what could it do?
