Hello

I'm running pi hole on my rasperry pi.  
Since some weeks i'm facing the Problem, that my Mobile deviced aren't blocking all ads. (The most ads were Blocked for example on Chip.de)  
For example on weather.com i see some ads on my mobile devices but on my Desktop PC the ads were Blocked.

How can this be?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply but i haven´t any other DNS.  
Now i tried the privacy mode with the mobile and the ads are blocked.  
Now i see that is only with the Chrome Browser on my Phone. With the other Browser all ads are blocked on wetter.com

Thanks in advance.

Edit: with the Chrome Beta the ads are blocked again
