minus-squareA10@kerala.party@kerala.partyhexbear1·1 year agoThe way Adaway works is similar to DNS blocking, it modifies the system hosts file which is like a local DNS. I would divide ad blockers into name resolution based (Pihole, Adguard, Adaway) and client side filters (Ublock origin etc). linkfedilink
