Google announced changes to its extension API that will effectively disable many third-party ad blockers in the Chrome browser. In response, users are turning to hardware-based solutions like Pi-hole, a network-wide ad blocker running on Raspberry Pi. The move is seen as Google protecting its core advertising business as Microsoft Edge also transitions to the Chromium engine.
