Question: Would Pi-holes get around this or would websites still recognise that there's traffic being blocked?
Chrome will eventually switch to DNS over HTTPS.
Piholes don’t actually block the traffic. The ads still make it from google to your home network. Pihole just intercepts them and sends them off to nowhere before they get to any of your devices. So I believe they won’t be affected by this.
That's not true. Pihole voids DNS requests, not the actual HTTP responses. When trying to look up an ad, it tells your devices to look at an unassigned ip address which will then not respond with anything.
I stand corrected. Appreciate you setting the record straight. Apologies if my response misled anyone.
I don’t know which one of you is correct so I’m upvoting all of you because I fucking love Pihole.
The rebuttal is correct.
DNS response from pihole makes it so your browser doesn’t even make the request to the server providing the AD. A blocked ad via DNS doesn’t make it to your device, and doesn’t even get downloaded from the remote server.
