Pihole is great, except my wife can't turn it off if it breaks something (at least not without Extra work to set it up on my end). And when she leaves our wifi, she's stuck with ads again.

That's why I typically recommend end-device adblockers. Easier for most users to use and configure.

    I get it. I had complaints from someone in my house too because they wanted the ads. I tried to explain that it was more than just ads but they didn't care. I whitelisted their devices and let it go. There are also some connected devices that need to phone home in order to operate. These get reluctantly whitelisted too.
