Except the iPad lineup which is quite confusing and weirdly speced and priced.

That is a good point, I might have been pointing at the wrong issue in Chrome. I have only seen this behavior happen since 2-3 days ago and all my research pointed me to async dns being the culprit. I am really eager to find out if this can be disabled in any way, but my Chrome time has come to an end with recent developments.

Because I want to use my own DNS server and block ads at the DNS level rather than the browser level. With this move, Google has effectively white listed adsense / adwords to not be blocked regardless of the network settings of the device.

This, along with the inability of disabling the async dns feature in the latest Chrome for desktop versions (thus making pihole/adguard irrelevant), makes me accelerate the change to another browser.

I think that’s one of the reasons Amsterdam has an anti-squatting law which basically forces owners that don’t live at home for a certain period in a year to rent it.
