## What it is
A curated, regularly updated hosts file containing domains that serve ads, tracking scripts, malware, and cryptomining scripts. It is designed to be consumed by DNS-based blockers like Pi-hole, AdGuard Home, and dnsmasq.

## Use cases
- block ads network-wide with pi-hole
- block tracking domains on android
- block cryptomining scripts in the browser
- curated hosts file for adguard home
- dns-level ad and tracker blocking
- block facebook tracking domains
- reduce malware domains via hosts file

## When to choose
- you run Pi-hole, AdGuard Home, or dnsmasq and want a verified, low-false-positive blocklist
- you want DNS-level blocking across all devices without browser extensions
- you need a regularly maintained list with active false-positive handling

## When to avoid
- you need content filtering beyond domain blocking, such as element hiding or cosmetic filtering
- you want a browser extension with per-site controls
- you need an actively developed software tool rather than a data list
