    Blockada is a system-wide adblocker that works on that device no matter which network you connected it to. Pi-hole is an ad-blocking solution that block ads at the network level, requiring a device like Raspberry Pi to be attached to that network and doesn't work when you connect to mobile data or other people's network (unless they also have Pi Hole set up).
