      You don’t need uBlock if you have a pihole properly configured, but you still need a pihole even if you have uBlock properly configured. uBlock is a half measure. An incomplete solution, but better than nothing.

        I migrated to Pi-hole in 2016 so believe me when I say that uBlock Origin is perfectly complimentary because it removes the blank space that is made for ads.

        Assuming everyone will have pihole “configured correctly”, not mentioning how to do that, saying you don’t need ublock if you have a pi hole (it does more than black ads). All in all a terrible comment.

        Ublock will work if you don’t go and install a bunch of proprietary apps. Also it has the ability to block elements on the DOM so its more effective for web pages.

        Pihole alone does not block YouTube ads for me.

        Edit: And uBlock alone does not block ads within mobile apps.
