Pihole vs AdGuard Home - Lemmy.world

Hey, not sure if this is the right community, but looking for some information. I’ve seen many people strongly recommend AdGuard Home for network-wide ad-blocking either in isolation, or in direct comparison to Pihole. But I can’t really find why there is such a strong recommendation. The only clear reason I’ve seen is that AdGuard is easier to set-up. However, I already have Pihole set-up on all of my networks on separate Raspberry Pis at each location. I have it running as the DNS server so that every device that connects to the network automatically gets ad-blocking. I have a few groups set-up within Pihole for slightly nuianced blocking — i.e. some of my family still want to use Facebook etc. (on a separate subnet). So my question is, considering I already have Pihole set-up, am I missing some key benefit that AdGuard Home would provide?

I’ve been using a pihole exclusively for years on my Ubiquiti network at home. Combined with Wireguard, it’s a stable, easy ad-blocking solution. I’ve never even considered moving from it, seeing how well pihole Just Works.
That’s more-or-less what I thought. And in fact I forgot to add to my post that I also use Pihole on the go via Wireguard, which seems like another hurdle to converting to AdGuard. Thanks.
You can use a private Adblocking DNS on all OS at this point.
Adguard home would also work exactly the same way as pihole for that use case.
