It's somewhat automatic, but definitely not cost-free. Spend awhile with uBlock Origin and optionally something like PiHole, and you'll be amazed at how much less exhausting reading online is.

Is there a point to PiHole if your uBlock Origin works?

I read web content via all sorts of apps that aren’t web browsers (mail, rss reader, various electron junk, not to mention mobile apps that are simply skins over web pages). A browser plug-in doesn’t help for those cases.

To me, the security implications of a compromised uBlock on my browser with access to everything seem worse than a compromised pihole on my network.

Am I wrong on this? Honestly not so sure.

uBlock Origin catches almost all of it, but PiHole catches the rest. Also great for devices which cannot run an ad-blocker. (Mobile apps, smart TVs, etc)
