Proposal to remove entire background section

I think that the background section adds NOTHING to this article. The article is about unbound, but the entire background section seems to refer to pi-hole... It's funny because the article title doesn't mention pi-hole at all. Unbound is a perfectly functional way to add advertising blocking without any of the pi-hole nonsense.

I propose that the background section either be completely removed, or at least stripped of ridiculous formatting and references to pi-hole. –zcrayfish (talk•contribs•send email) 06:32, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Mention of modern browsers' attempts to bypass DNS blocking of ad servers

The article could also use an entire section explaining how modern browsers, especially Chrome, attempt to use DNS over HTTPS to bypass the system configured DNS server under the guise of privacy (but lets face it, Google has financial incentive to prevent people from blocking ad.doubleclick.com)... An unbound configuration that prevents bootstrapping of popular DoH servers could help. Something like:
