## What it is
yhosts is a curated hosts file project that blocks ads, trackers, and unwanted domains via DNS-level entries. It is maintained as a regularly updated text dataset usable on Android and other systems.

## Use cases
- block ads system-wide with a hosts file
- block tracking domains on an Android device
- update a hosts file for DNS-level filtering
- reduce mobile data usage by blocking ad domains
- set up ad blocking without a browser extension

## When to choose
- you want simple, dependency-free ad blocking via hosts entries
- you need a regularly updated blocklist for Android or system-level DNS filtering
- you prefer a lightweight alternative to ad-blocking apps or extensions

## When to avoid
- you need per-app or per-browser filtering with fine-grained control
- you require a maintained license or want to redistribute the list freely (no license is provided and usage terms restrict use)
- you need DNS filtering with dynamic rules rather than static hosts entries

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
- function: security, privacy, developer-tools
- domain: security, privacy, developer-tools, self-hosted
- platform: cross-platform, cli
- tags: hosts-file, ad-blocking, dns-blocking, china-focused, batchfile, android
