The amount of resources we have on a router are very limited. That is
mainly the reason why we used dnsmasq initially.
Wireless drivers keep us jailed to Kernel 2.6 for the time being, and
this is also another limitation that could prevent a Pi-hole to be even
be considered, as backporting is

pihole-FTL may require more resources to run than plain dnsmasq (mostly
memory), but it does not tie to any specific hard
Hi Buck, thank you for the new info you brought up in your message

Indeed, I think the point is straight forward, there are part of dnsmasq
where we do want to comply with RFC, etc, others that are locally
significant only and can bypass certain check, adblock being one of those.
There are a number of lists I can suggest, see this link we maintain:

I agree with this point and I'm developing libddt (dense domain table)
that is basically
FWIW, I use (on a 32-bit i686 appliance) a 33MiB ads/pron/warez blocklist of
1.2M domains in the form "local=/FQDN/" (that is, the domains do not exist at
all for me; I'm OK with seeing whitespace). The virtual size (from 'ps aux') of
the running dnsmasq is 175MiB. Resolution time is a hair slow
