Yes combination of pihole and ublock on Windows has worked well for Chrome or Firefox. However the main reason I setup pihole was to block ads on smart devices such as phones or Smart TVs that do not allow third party addons like ublock. This is why I mainly wanted to figure out a way to parse the easylist that is used by ublock. Most ads are blocked, what i tend to see is random redirects opening a new tab on my phone saying i'm a millionaire or where can i buy used cars.
This list seems to be very similar to the one used by adblock plus.
