But what does a pihole (which is DNS blocking) do that AdGuard's free public DNS (which is DNS blocking) doesn't? Of course uBlock Origin alongside them is better, but what's a pihole specifically doing?

I was pretty specific as to what advantages PiHole has over Ublock alone.

Please re-read the above comment and lmk if I can clarify anything.

And I was pretty specific about PiHole over AdGuard's public DNS. And to be honest, the person you originally replied to was as well.
