no, you can use:
- specific dns providers that already have clean the shit
- specific firewall servers/apps/hardware that not only clean the shit but also keep safe your network and do other stuff
- specific browsers that already clean the shit.
- stop browsing shit pages.
Pihole can mess up badly your network if is not configured correctly and/or user don't know shit about networking. Pihole is not the panacea of cleaning shit of what you are doing.

Sure you could use someone else's DNS, but then you'd have to trust them.
I set up my pihole 3 years ago and have barely had to interact with it since. The most I have to do is update it when I feel like. It's made a major difference in my internet experience.
I still use an adblock on my phone/browsers for when I'm not on my home network.
