uBlock Origin is a browser extension, and as such, is capable of blocking web content resources below the domain level, e.g. specific images or scripts.

Its blocklists are hence not compatible with Pi-hole (no HOST format), and they also are useless for Pi-hole, as Pi-hole is blocking domains exclusively.

The same would apply to Aaklist, as that seems to target browser extensions as well.

Thanks Bucking\_Horn for reply, so the what I can do for setting up a good level of block? use default setting of pi hole is enough?  
And when I visit a website that can display warning me because I'm stay using an adblock what to do?

This is a frequent question.

The answer largely depends on personal preference in the end, though for me, Pi-hole provides adequate protection with the default lists.

Feel free to tweak and tune lists to meet your personal needs.

For more detailed information, let me refer you to some previous posts on why [combining Pi-hole and browser extensions](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/pi-hole-not-working-network-wide/31172/39) may make sense, or on special focus blocklists like [Blocking Microsofts Telemtry](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/blocking-microsofts-telemtry/28295), including some reliable blocklist sources.

thanks again Bucking\_Horn, instead for website that block navigation on pages because they find enabled adblock, I need to turn off pi hole or put in a whitelist?

That is another frequent question, answered by our FAQ:

> Block ads or fix broken sites This FAQ is written in the context of finding out how to block an ad that isn't blocked automatically, but the same steps can be used to troubleshoot issues with sites that don't function properly. An example is that sometimes certain payment gateways try to collect metrics on the sale, but these domains are blocked by Pi-hole, so the payment cannot be processed. Also, some links send you through several referrers and if one of them is blocked, you may land on a b…
