My personal favorite was the Gateway. My PiHole has more power than that thing.

I guess this isn't technically worse than downloading an install script and then running it, but it sure makes me want to cower under my desk more.

I put one on the public open WiFi at work for the patients to use, and I get compliments that everything runs faster and how did I do that. parts are stupid cheap and you can run it on any small linux box. And it blocks everything including phone ads if you are on wifi at home. It's lovely.

So basically build a rasbpi, put it on the network, run a script and feed it to my router? 'cuz I can prolly do that.

Yea. You are creating your own DNS server that you use for all the stuff in your internal network. So instead of serving up 8.8.8.8 as your DNS you use the IP of the PiHole box.
