With recent piholes you can now ignore specific devices! This what I do for my partner.

Thanks for the hint.

From a practical point of view, the only thing it broke was Ad sponsored results on Google, so I had to teach my wife to go for the normal results, or search directly on Amazon or Wayfair or wherever. What broke for your wife's online shopping?

Several sites shes uses load images from a CDN, she would get to a page that should be full of pictures and those pictures would be missing.

You're not alone. I took out my partner's online calendar by mistake with a PiHole. I think I blocked all her productivity SaaS tools too. Found out in under 5 minutes.

My dad had an outdoorsy distribution list that shoved all links through an ad domain, like straight up as if it was clicked on a site. He was able to copy and paste the text just fine...

I recently transitioned to the phrase "happy spouse, happy house." We all deserve to be happy.
