A collection of regularly updated hosts files for blocking ads, trackers, Facebook services, AMP pages, and other unwanted domains. The lists are programmatically expanded and designed for use with Pi-hole, uBlock Origin, and similar DNS/ad blockers.
Use cases
- block ads and trackers at the DNS level with a hosts file
- add blocklists to Pi-hole
- block Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp domains
- block Google AMP pages
- find a curated ad and tracking blocklist for uBlock Origin
- block dating services network-wide
When to choose
- you want a maintained, programmatically expanded hosts blocklist for Pi-hole or similar DNS blockers
- you need category-specific lists like Facebook or AMP blocking
- you prefer Apache-2.0 licensed blocklists
When to avoid
- you need a browser extension or application rather than raw hosts files
- you want a general-purpose firewall or proxy solution
- you need lists updated more recently than late 2023
