Anyone getting 3rd party filter update issues with
Chrome Version 73.0.3683.86 (Official Build) (64-bit) and uBlock Origin v1.18.12 ?
(Could it be that Manifest v3 is getting started ?)
FireFox Quantum 66.0.2(64-bit) seems to work fine

Better question is WHO really uses WinRAR ?
WinRAR vs 7Zip battle ?

Hello to all,
Steven Black host file contains Dan Pollocks (someonewhocares.org) entries as well.
See here under section Sources of hosts data unified in this variant
I am starting to use the following as well
https://hosts-file.net/ad_servers.txt https://hosts-file.net/grm.txt https://hosts-file.net/exp.txt https://hosts-file.net/emd.txt https://hosts-file.net/psh.txtLink to what grm, exp, emd, psh mean
Another host file list, I think i have not posted ?

- go into regedit
- go to this key: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} and delete the entries for UpperLimits and LowerLimits
- exit
- reboot
When you restart the CD drive should be available - if not a repair install of the OS may be needed.Just a FYI mta, running just SFC /scannow in Windows 10 could cause more problems than fix issues.
According to MS this is how one should use SFC /scannow in Windows 10.

That URLs own malware blocking one is relatively large.
I noted that as well.
Lets say one combines all the entries into one list and 50% is duplicates.
The amount of unique entries will still be one massive amount and the lists will just keep on growing day by day....

Hello all,
If my memory serves, someone was looking for a massive list of host files....
Well, here is a variety for you all that I stumbled upon somehow.
(My memory of posting that link in the past fails me though
)

The CoinBlocker one I've been using in uBlock Origin is this:
That is the old link the new link is,
https://zerodot1.github.io/CoinBlockerLists/list_browser.txtyour link will still work but don’t provide the
last-modifiedheader. -
Hello all,
Something that I read here with regards to Pi-hole and is also, I think, applicable to uBlock Origin.
QuoteWhen hosting stuff like blocklists on GitHub, please make sure you do not use
raw.githubusercontent.comlinks. Since these links don’t provide thelast-modifiedheader, they will get re-downloaded every single timepihole -gis run (or each week automatically) even if there are no new changes. That’s a waste of time and bandwidthI tried NOT using the
raw.githubusercontent.comlinks that I have posted a while back and insted usehttps://zerodot1.github.io/CoinBlockerLists/hosts https://zerodot1.github.io/CoinBlockerLists/hosts_browser https://zerodot1.github.io/CoinBlockerLists/hosts_optional https://zerodot1.github.io/CoinBlockerLists/MiningServerIPList.txt https://zerodot1.github.io/CoinBlockerLists/list.txt https://zerodot1.github.io/CoinBlockerLists/list_browser.txt https://zerodot1.github.io/CoinBlockerLists/list_optional.txt https://zerodot1.github.io/CoinBlockerLists/list_browser_UBO.txtwithin my uBlock Origin AND my Pi-hole and all seems to work "better?" responce time is faster.
Side note: The link provided host one MASSIVE blocking list broken up in couple of files and whitelist file.

Yes, but then it would only be specific to that browser and not system wide. If you want a system wide tool, I seen that hostman received some big updates last year and is now a much better tool.
System wide ? You mean the actual host file ?
You will not get around with the host file getting MASSIVE at one point in time.
That why I installed a Pi running Pi-Hole with the following subscription for Network wide protection and not just device specific
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts https://mirror1.malwaredomains.com/files/justdomains http://sysctl.org/cameleon/hosts https://zeustracker.abuse.ch/blocklist.php?download=domainblocklist https://s3.amazonaws.com/lists.disconnect.me/simple_tracking.txt https://s3.amazonaws.com/lists.disconnect.me/simple_ad.txt https://hosts-file.net/ad_servers.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroDot1/CoinBlockerLists/master/list.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroDot1/CoinBlockerLists/master/list_optional.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroDot1/CoinBlockerLists/master/list_browser.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroDot1/CoinBlockerLists/master/hosts https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroDot1/CoinBlockerLists/master/hosts_optional https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroDot1/CoinBlockerLists/master/hosts_browser https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroDot1/CoinBlockerLists/master/MiningServerIPList.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroDot1/CoinBlockerLists/master/list_browser_UBO.txt https://github.com/hoshsadiq/adblock-nocoin-list/blob/master/hosts.txtIt updates by itself and it's install and forget
At time of writhing, Pi-Hole (with the above subscriptions) is blocking 126 139 Domains vs 93 933 network filters ＋ 43 961 cosmetic from uBlock Origin.
I also run uBlock Origin in conjunction with the Pi for when if I go off my Network wih my laptop.
The only sad thing that I noted is that uBlock Origin can only accommodate 7 subscriptions under the Custom section where by the Pi-hole seems to be a lot more.

After playing around with Pi-hole
Found this entry that contains a massive amount of 3rd party host file entries including Winhelp2002 entries.
"almost" like an one host stop file now
-
Emailed the developers and asked them how well Pi-hole and browser based ad blockers work.
This was their response
QuoteBrowser based ad blockers usually complement Pi-hole by removing empty ad spaces and blocking some of the harder to block ads (from a DNS perspective) such as YouTube video ads.
So in the end one would still need a browser based ad blocker...
-
I decided to try out the Pi-hole project.
Just to see what all the fuzz is about and how it works and got a Pi in the closet that does nothing.
Have to say, it's impressive.
What Pi-hole does is it blocks all ads, malware, cryptocurrency mining on a network level, not per device with no added ad-ons on the device. Being it a tablet, cellphone or your fridge where one browse the internet.
The interface is extremely use friendly, the stats it provide is handy and clear. Quite shocking at times as well.
Here are some of my stats. The red block is entries of the 3rd party lists that I have added just to cover more basses. The rest are standard entries provided by the developers.
Note: that this is only for about 5 hours give or take of stats and not consecutive browsing.
As can see there was 4 clients that made 4,946 DNS requites out of that 1,224 was blocked or Pi-holed as they state it, out of a list of 109,935 blockable entries.
To think how big the internet is and we only know of about 109,935 bad/no go domains. (at time if writhing)
The only small drawback that I see is that this will only help on your network, and once the device is off your network and onto others network you are back at square one with the ads and so on.
Over all I can see this;
Providing stats of who is browsing what sites (even gave me the stats of my phone applications DNS requests )
Helping parents blocking snooping kids....
Keeping your browsing save and clean ON ALL devices on your network. -
Hey and welcome to the forum.
The following two entries you have nothing to be concern about
Windows Explorer - Thumbnail Cache
System - Windows Log Files
They are normal, day to day entries that are created by your system on a regular basis.
For the other two, I just noted on my system, some software uses IE as the default Browser even though IE is not set as your default browser. -

Thank you for the update info Hazelnut.
I always wonder what they've declassified when the Hosts file decreases in size by almost 30kb.
They take away a LOT of "Fun and games" sites
.
Wonder if they do not work with a lot of Adblock, uBlock enc subscriptions, not to duplicate the entries

In my first post, I said that it was not available on the Adobe U.S.A. website. That person could've said that it was in his country in the first place. I hope you aren't justifying his behavior.
I am not justifying his behavior (mostly his wording, his frustration I can understand), just justifying the fact that there is an Acrobat 2017 version available.
I am dropping this Acrobat debate now.
Think I made my point.

These kinds of people should be immediately banned from this community forum. Thank you very much for taking quick action. You can also check the Adobe U.S.A. website and try to find Adobe Acrobat/Reader 2017. They do not have them listed in the U.S.A.
Just remember, not EVERYTHING revolve around the "great" U.S.A, there are other contries as well....
It's within their KB....

Powershadow or Shadow Defender
You did what was asked, short to the point !!
HAHAHA.
Sounds like software that I know of called Deep Freeze. It's a slept to setup correctly but the principle the same: Lock OS and applications down, Reboot and all is gone after a session.
Okay drifting a bit here, that a massive amount of overkill just to get protected from "ads" -

Do you mind elaborating on it a bit ?
What I am seeing here is all are using some sort of Browser blocker..
Interesting development...

To follow up on Andavaris post
Just look at all the entries within the Host file and EasyList as a guide and note all the common misspellings of the sites.
Sothing else to look into and the the amount of traffic they get....

same here.
only use FF with uBlock and MVPS hosts file.
just keeping it simple, don't let it rule my life, don't believe 'the man' is caring what he listens into from the chatter from my PC, although I know 'he' is there, just doesn't bother me.
You must watch it calling them 'The man",
some people may find it offensive: "The WoMan"
It not about them listening in, it's more about the frustration of seeing some of this ads online, the fact that it's heavy on data usage and this new Browser mining epidemic that is going around.
Was hit by a site a while back and darn my girl (my PC) was mad at me....Was wondering if Browese addons and Host file not cause duplicate entries some of the time hmmmm.

Why, one way of workflow, no going back to fix something that is broke.
