Pi-hole is nice for devices that you don't fully control. But it's not enough, due to the fundamental limitations of DNS based blocking. If the ads and the content are hosted on the same domain, it can't do anything.

Also issues with links that get ads on top of them. You can still click them, you'll get redirected to a blank page (because the ad gets DNS blocked), but with an adblocker you would've gone to the non-ad link.
