Set up your router to offer DNS through pihole and everything in your network now has tracking and ads blocked, even the wifi dishwasher.

Until everything starts using DoH (DNS over HTTPS). There is pretty much no reason to use anything else as a consumer nowadays.

In fact, most web browsers are using DoH, so pihole is useless in that regard.

You can make pihole work with DoH:

Not true, see answer above. Block the domain name or IP addresses of the DoH server.

You can disable that

Sure, but the industry is moving in that direction so prepare for the uphill battle.

Even the dishwasher that has Wifi that you don't know has Wifi and will happily jump onto open networks or has a deal with xfinity
