Hi, I was wondering, is it useful to use multiple adblockers in a row?

I don’t mean 4 or five 5 browser extensions more like a chain of adblockers, one on every passing network point.

Adblock DNS -> Pi-Hole -> Linux System with hBlock -> Browser with uBlock Origin

I have only a 10 Mbit Internet connection, so I fear that this would slowdown pageloads to much. On the other hand there are filterlists that uBlock can use where as Pi-Hole can’t.

So what combination does make sense (is efficient in every aspect) and what do you use?

    Different tools for different things…

    Unlock etc are browser plugins and only block ads in browsers.

    pi-hole blocks DNS requests to advertising domains. It blocks ads, tracking data, etc. not only on my browser-based systems, but on other connected devices like smart TVs, media players, etc.
