Sound cool. Except I dont get a clue on how to install the stuff on windows.. easy if you're on linux, which nobody is

So I guess my grand parents and their siblings will keep using chrome, if the alternative is so hard to get working

Pi-hole is basically plug-and-play, users only need to change one or two router configs, but I suppose you're now going to complain about the cost and having to faff with another appliance hogging another one of those precious electrical sockets.

EDIT: Seriously, though, putting your bellyaching aside, you can simply paste a pre-made host file into C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts. Just make sure it comes from a trustworthy place and be aware that you need to update it manually every once in a while.
