what about path based blocking for https websites? this dns-based method isn't really effective unless for known ad and tracking domains, I guess most of the time you need to block a certain path and that cannot be known for the case of https except inside the browser itself after decrypting the TLS payload. Also this could break some websites and users don't even recognize this is due to pi-hole. This is why I believe that adblockers at the endpoint like ublock-origin are the most effective way to block ads.
