A continuously updated blocklist of Adobe telemetry-checking domains distributed in multiple hosts-file formats. It is consumed via hosts file managers like HostsMan and SwitchHosts or DNS blockers like Pi-hole.

When to choose

When to avoid
- you need to block telemetry from vendors other than Adobe
- you rely on Adobe cloud services that the blocklist may interfere with
