Since it’s the DNS queries (which are then cached) going through the Pi, and not the actual requests, the network bottleneck shouldn’t be much of a problem.

Yup. I’m surprised it took them this long to be honest, obviously they want full control over the ad blocking themselves so they can whitelist those ads which best serve their deep pockets. Is google still your friend?
