    Seems like a desperate attempt to boost ad revenue that has been steadily shrinking due to adblockers and the rise of LLMs.

    Google engineers should stop obeying and move elsewhere to do the right thing

      From high level reading, this seems centered on attestation of the HW and SW rendering content on a device. Since a pihole is not visible to the device, I hope this means it would still work? Someone with more knowhow ready to weigh in?

        Pihole uses DNS, this shouldn’t affect Pihole.

          Put another way: a pihole will not help you here.
