    Just use ublock origin.

    If you use only a pihole there should not popup any adblocker detected messages since you don’t use one.

    Edit: ok it seems certain websites do check if their ads get actually loaded. I recommend not using those sites or use ublock origin to block the anti adblock popup. And as far I can tell this is illegal in the EU. So I don’t encounter this issues.

      This is the right answer. Most webpage servers, if they’re set up to detect adblock, only detect at the client level on the browser. They don’t check to see if their traffic is being routed through a pihole.

      They most certainly do unfortunately, I speak from experience. Haven’t delved into the specifics, but I suspect some websites check if a piece of JavaScript or other resource was loaded, if not a ‘you are using an adblocker’ message is shown. It is annoying, but as I can live without these websites they go onto my personal blacklist and I move on with my life. They need us harder than we do them.
