In regard to the "system wide ad blocker". It appears that is currently in Beta stage. Have you found that your Eero device has been blocking all or a decent % off ads? My friend has set-up a Pi-hole on a Raspberry Pi device and reports about 94% of ads blocked. Having the ability to do this at the network level intrigues me. Would love to see this function on the Orbi.

So far the ad blocker works really well. Ads are gone in apps and games. Have seen none, period. Just like having an ad free version.
I constantly change ad blockers as theu either miss adds or block website function. Macrumors I visit regularly. No ads missed at all, some miss one or two. Any pages you want me to try? So far I like it better than anything before.
Tried these and no ads

It may have missed a few while browsing but I never noticed. If you know of someplace with a lot of ads I will test it. I like it though better than the app store blockers.....any of them.
