Piholes don’t actually block the traffic. The ads still make it from google to your home network. Pihole just intercepts them and sends them off to nowhere before they get to any of your devices. So I believe they won’t be affected by this.
That’s not true. Pihole voids DNS requests, not the actual HTTP responses. When trying to look up an ad, it tells your devices to look at an unassigned ip address which will then not respond with anything.
Question: Would Pi-holes get around this or would websites still recognise that there’s traffic being blocked?

I stand corrected. Appreciate you setting the record straight. Apologies if my response misled anyone.
