\u003cbr\u003e\nI started work on this list back in 2012 (everyone needs a hobby) \u0026 over the years I thought why not share it with everyone.\u003cbr\u003e\n\nMy message to Android Developers is: \u003cbr\u003e\nIf you want to make money💰 then make people pay for your App.\u003cbr\u003e\nIf you want to make the App free then make it free with no Ads you Greedy Pigs🐷!!!\u003cbr\u003e\nI'm in Control of what shows up on my screen let it be on my Phone or my PC....\n\nThis AdBlock /etc/hosts file is made for Android \u0026 Linux. \u003cbr\u003e\nWith Android \u0026 Linux you can't use the wildcard character * in the /etc/hosts file for Android \u0026 Linux, \u003cbr\u003e\nthat only works in Microsoft Windows OS. \u003cbr\u003e\nSo for example 0.0.0.0       *.example.com \u003cbr\u003e\nwould only work on Microsoft Windows OS. \u003cbr\u003e\nSo in Android \u0026 Linux you have to list the domain name \u0026 every subdomain name as well.🙄 \u003cbr\u003e\nAs far as I know you have to be rooted on Android to be able to write to the /etc/hosts file\u003cbr\u003e\nbut if you have Root on your phone then find a root file browser app \u0026 copy over my hosts file.\n\nYou can import my list into the blokada App-\u003e https://blokada.org/index.html You Don't Need Root For Blokada. \u003cbr\u003e\nJust add this URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DataMaster-2501/DataMaster-Android-AdBlock-Hosts/master/hosts \n\u003cbr\u003eto blokada \u0026 you will always get fresh updates made to the list. \u003cbr\u003e\nAlso this list should work with the DNS66 App-\u003e https://github.com/julian-klode/dns66 but I have not tested it.\n\nThis list blocks Ads/Marketing Services, Analytics/Tracking Services as well some malicious \u0026 harmful domains. \u003cbr\u003e\nI feel the Analytics/Tracking Services that are added into Android Apps is a big privacy problem. \u003cbr\u003e\nWith this list you can block Ads within Android Apps \u0026 On Websites. \u003cbr\u003e\nThis file is setup for both IPv4 \u0026 IPv6. \u003cbr\u003e\nYou may also use this list with https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock \u003cbr\u003e\nBut I will be coming out with my own uBlock list soon.\n\nThis list is made from many sources. \u003cbr\u003e\nFrom: The Websites I visit \u0026 the App's I use\u003cbr\u003e\nbut most of all I go out on the net looking for Ads \u0026 Trackers to block. (It's a Hobby) \u003cbr\u003e\nI've ran 100s of app over my andorid emulator logging all network traffic. \u003cbr\u003e\nI also handpick domain names to block that I find from other lists. \u003cbr\u003e\nWhen I do find a domain name I wish to block I then find all subdomains for that domain name\u003cbr\u003e\nby using various subdomain scanning tools and other services. \u003cbr\u003e\n(Remember the wildcard character * only works in Microsoft Windows OS.)\n\nKeep in mind that if you really like to watch videos on news websites,\nthen this list may not be for you.\u003cbr\u003e\nSome News sites like to hook Ad services into the video player code so by blocking one you break the other.🙄\n\nPlease report any issue with this list!!! \u003cbr\u003e\nAlso if you have any feedback or want to help me out \u0026 suggestion a domain name or an App for me to look into Please do so. The more feed back I get the better I can make this list.\n\nMy message to Web-Admins/Webmasters: \u003cbr\u003e\nI hear some of you feel that blocking ads is like stealing🙄.\u003cbr\u003e\nGrow a brain it is not stealing! \u0026 blocking ads is like putting on a condom so I don't get hit by drive-by downloads trying to install a virus/malware. \u003cbr\u003e\nI feel if you people want to make money💰 off your website then make it private \u0026 make it a membership based website.\u003cbr\u003e\nJust remember you are not the only game in town, if you make it hard to view content when ads are blocked\nI will just go find some other website to go to \u0026 never return to your website ever again. \u003cbr\u003e\nRemember I'm in Control of what shows up on My Screen let it be on my PC or my Smart Phone....\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["Others (1002)","Others"],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FDataMaster-2501%2FDataMaster-Android-AdBlock-Hosts","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FDataMaster-2501%2FDataMaster-Android-AdBlock-Hosts","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FDataMaster-2501%2FDataMaster-Android-AdBlock-Hosts/lists"}
