Are there any downsides to the Pi-hole approach?
So this blocks some (?) ads from getting through the router?
I get popups when using ad blockers in Safari, and if I'm of a mind (seldom) I can unblock to read the content, assuming Reader View isn't an option, and the content is worth my time.
Is this an issue with a Pi-hole?
What I do not recommend: a WiFi connection between the raspberry Pi-hole and the router.
Because... ?
Because Then you can use WiFi for any device in your house, of course.
That reads like an additional reason.
