Oh, Privoxy. Must've been 20 years since I used that. But, can it block certain elements with certain IDs? And do I have to disable DoH to make it work?


> can it block certain elements with certain IDs?

If you mean hiding an element, yes it's possible: you can either inject CSS into the page or write a filter to remove the HTML entirely. For example, adblock2privoxy generates both Privoxy rules to block requests and stylesheets to hide elements (you need a local webserver for this, though).

It's Privoxy, not the browser, that will do the DNS queries. So, no: it will work regardless of DoH.
