Well quite frankly, I dont care what google does. I am doing if old school since forever, squid proxy doint mitm. And it works for all my OSes from android to linux laptop. It is not as easy to set up as in browser ads blockers, but is completly out of control of browser and ad blockers or OS vendor. Anyway there is firefox too, while for chrome, as everything from google, I can only say - I told you so (10 years back).

Btw, it is quite interesting, that over all those "we were right" years, people are still trying to confort themself about how great their favorite brand is, we have a saying that even donkey walks on ice only once.

I use Pi-Hole, but I also use uBlock Origin since Pi-Hole cannot block ads that require more advanced heuristics to block, like YT ads for example.

To do a mitm with squid you have to setup a trusted root cert on all of your machines right?

Only if you want to MITM SSL connections. If you just want to do HTTP, you don't need a certificate.

I can't imagine Ads are served up primarily via HTTP, especially with the push to HTTPS everywhere.

Do you know of a good guide for setting up a squid proxy in this way?
