I just noticed that the home assistant addon has been deprecated: https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-pi-hole. I hope that it comes back eventually.

They recommend the AdGuard Home one now... That's why they have replaced it.

I also don't like it as AdGuard is a commercial company, and I have zero need for the added features like parental control.

But I don't really care, I run all the dockers that have nothing to do with home assistant outside of hassio anyway.

To be fair, AdGuard Home is an open source project under GPL, so there's that.

I know. But still I would prefer something a non-profit or volunteer-driven project over one from a for-profit company. Especially in the adblocking business where investor concerns are very likely not going to be aligned with consumer interests. It's not about it being free, I support several free open source projects with donations. I just don't like the clashing interests.

For me that means Firefox, uBlock Origin and pihole (though I ran dnsmasq myself for a while, I like what they've made of pihole now, it's come a long way!)
