Pi-Hole or something else for network ad blocking?

Gooey0210,

My last comment wasn’t really addressed personally to you, sorry i sounded like that

Having root is almost never a security benefit, it allows you to close one hole, but opens up 10 new more

I personally really like fdroid and izzy, and other custom repos. And root is a cool thing, although i don’t have it on my daily driver(but have on my test phone)
