  window.location.href = 'https://google.com/';

  That snippet redirects people who arrive at macwright.com from Hacker News.
My pi.hole blocks google.com, so the redirect failed and macwright.com loaded as usual.

To be fair, my comment probably allays whatever doubt the author might have about blocking HN :)

How is that working out for you? I would imagine half the internet stops working?

I block google.com and subdomains. Surprisingly, it doesn't do much collateral damage.

I do have one exception: I whitelist youtube-ui.l.google.com. As much as I hate Google, everyone on earth posts their video to Youtube, and invidious is too janky to replace it. I hope I live long enough to see a world where humanity has found a more ethical video repository than Google.
