Problems with PIHole

Hello

I recently installed PiHole on my Raspberry PI but it doesn't really work that well. All devices im using are directly pointed towards the PiHole.

It works great with firefox, but when I'm using Vivaldi, Opera or Chrome it sitll filters a small amont of ads, but by far not as many as it does with firefox. Same problem on my phone since I'm using Chrome.

 

Let's take youtube for example. Filtering ads when I'm using Youtube on a PC with a browser ONLY works with firefox. And the mobile app has the same problem. PiHole doesn't work there at all.

Can anybode help me?

 

And just before you asked. I installed the software the same way as Linus did in his tutorial. The PiHole is the only DNS I configured my devices to use. Vivaldi has some kind of setting which has something to do with google's DNS service. I disabled this setting.
