I've wanted to do this for some time, but everyone tells me there's no way to make it work without constantly updating the blacklist. Is it really such a hassle?

You run into issues where the website detects what you're doing and blocks your access? It happens if I use ad blocking through my vpn.
It's happens sometimes but I must say, not very often. I could probably count on one hand how many times that have happened through my many years of using pihole.
If you have a significant other, they will discover said instances after about 5 minutes using the pihole and you'll hear about it. I think it's a kind of law of home networking.
Yeah, my wife works in social media. We have to let ads in.

I use Firefox with Ublock on both my PC and Phone and haven't had to deal with ads in years, PiHole just seems like a lot of hassle without much more benefit.
