I've offered, but she declined. She really likes sales and coupon offers, extensions for cash-back that are based on tracking, etc. Someone else said it best about their spouse on another thread:

"...whenever a website doesn't work for any reason I get an earfull about my 'damn adblocker'..."

And this is exactly why I don't feel bad about blocking ads and not purchasing YouTube Premium and the like. There are zillions of people out there who actually like looking at all these annoying ads, so the advertisers don't need to bother me when I'm not going to buy their crap anyway, and these other ad-lovers will happily do so.

I hooked up my pihole’s on/off switch to HomeKit. Whenever a website doesn’t work, my wife knows she can open the home app and turn off the Pi-hole and try again.

Do you have any more details on this? Sounds like a great idea for the rest of my household.

Yea, it’s a homebridge plugin: https://github.com/arendruni/homebridge-pihole

Really easy to setup once you have homebridge itself running. Just enter in your Pi-hole api key and add it to HomeKit.
