>I tried pihole maybe 8 years ago, and it just broke too many websites for me to leave it on for my wife. It really frustrated her.
I've been running pi-hole at home for three or four years with minimal issues.
The times when I have seen issues, I just go to the admin webpage, disable blocking for some period of time, and try again. And it's almost never Pi-hole causing the issue unless I'm trying to click on an affiliate link[0].
I mention this not as something your wife might do, but to clarify that pi-hole (with default settings) almost never blocks anything I click on, and when it does, I'm almost always glad it did.
As such, assuming your wife isn't clicking marketing/advertising/affiliate links, pi-hole should be just fine for your home IMHO. As always, YMMV.
I don't use it personally but know several people that do. It has different levels of blocking, and so if you have the patience, you can go full block mode and gradually peel back the blocking to sites that you want to use. My friends thoroughly recommend it.
