Off the top of my head:
- Cancels network requests early within the browser
- Pattern-based filtering on whole URL
- example: `&act=ads_`
- Context information
- example: `$script,third-party,domain=imgbox.com`
- point-and-click to enable/disable blocking behavior on a per-site basis:
- JavaScript
- Large media elements
- Remote fonts
- Etc.
- you can see what specific network requests are made by what specific page, i.e. you can fully inform yourself of what specific pages/sites are causing your browser to do
- example: <https://twitter.com/gorhill/status/934474012377444352>
- Ability to redirect to neutered version of a resource
- example: `||google-analytics.com/ga.js$script,redirect=google-analytics.com/ga.js`
- Cosmetic filtering, i.e. the manipulation of DOM elements in the browser
- example: `##.AdHeader`
- Scriptlet injection filtering, i.e. the injection of JS scriptlets to modify the behavior of a page -- useful to defuse anti-content blockers
- example: `wallstreet-online.de##+js(nostif, userHasAdblocker)`
- HTML filtering, i.e. the removal of DOM elements from a document before it is parsed by the browser
- example: `wetteronline.de##^script:has-text(runCount)`
- Ability to deal with unwanted popups
- example: `&link_type=offer$popup,third-party`
- You can easily (narrowly/broadly) override any filter from the filter lists through simple point-and-click operations to customize your own filtering or to quickly fix sites broken as a result of overzealous filters
Main advantage of Pi-Hole is that it filters network traffic from all devices on your network, but filtering is blunt compared to what you can do through a browser extension.
