Say hello to **StevenBlock**, your new best friend in the fight against pesky ads and sneaky malware. Let's dive into how this little powerhouse can transform your digital life!\n\n## **🚀 What Makes StevenBlock Your Digital Superhero?**\n\n-   **🛑 Ad Annihilator**: Wave goodbye to annoying pop-ups, intrusive video ads, and clingy banners. **StevenBlock** makes them vanish.\n\n-   **📱 App Ad Assassin**: Tired of ads crashing your app party? **StevenBlock** kicks them to the curb, letting you enjoy your apps in uninterrupted peace.\n\n-   **🎯 Customizable Protection**: You are in control! During installation, choose from four different blocklists, from light to aggressive, to perfectly match your needs.\n\n-   **🔋 Battery Friendly**: **StevenBlock** is a lean, mean, blocking machine. It's **not an app** that runs in the background. It's a system-level module, meaning it does its job silently without draining your battery.\n\n-   **🛡️ Broad Root Support**: Whether you're using **Magisk**, **KernelSU**, or **APatch**, **StevenBlock** integrates seamlessly. We've got your back, no matter your root solution.\n\n-   **💬 Conversation Keeper**: Don't worry, we know you need to stay connected. **StevenBlock** plays nice with WhatsApp, Telegram, and LinkedIn, keeping your social and professional lifelines intact.\n\n-   **🔄 Effortless Updates**: Keeping **StevenBlock** fighting fit is a breeze. Your root manager handles updates, so you're always rocking the latest and greatest protection with just a few taps.\n\n## **🎯 Choose Your Shield: Customizable Blocklists**\n\n**StevenBlock** now puts the power in your hands. During installation, you'll be prompted to select the hosts file that best suits your browsing style.\n\n-   **StevenBlack (Main)**: The classic, balanced blocklist. A great starting point for most users, based on the original **StevenBlack** hosts.\n-   **1Hosts Lite (Light)**: A lighter touch for minimal blocking, focusing on the most intrusive ads while maintaining high compatibility.\n-   **1Hosts Pro (Balanced)**: A comprehensive and well-rounded list for everyday use, blocking a wide range of ads, trackers, and malware.\n-   **1Hosts Xtra (Aggressive)**: For the power user who wants maximum blocking. This list is more aggressive and may require some manual whitelisting for certain sites or services.\n\n## **📊 The Numbers Game: How We Protect You**\n\n\u003e [!WARNING]\n\u003e Brace yourself: Depending on the list you choose, **StevenBlock** acts as a bouncer for your device, blocking between **100,000 to 500,000+** troublemakers (read: malware, ad, and spyware domains). And just like a top-tier security team, our blocklists are constantly updated to keep the riffraff out.\n\n## **🧠 Knowledge is Power: F.A.Q. Time!**\n\n\u003e [!TIP]\n\u003e **❔: What's this \"hosts file\" and where is it?**\n\u003e\n\u003e Think of the hosts file as your device's bouncer list. It lives in `/system/etc` and tells your device which connections to block before they even start.\n\n\u003e [!TIP]\n\u003e **❔: How does StevenBlock actually work?**\n\u003e\n\u003e It's a master of misdirection. When an app or website tries to connect to a blocked domain, **StevenBlock** redirects that request to a digital dead end (0.0.0.0). By merging multiple trusted sources into one powerful hosts file, we ensure comprehensive protection without slowing you down.\n\n\u003e [!TIP]\n\u003e **❔: How can I see what's being blocked?**\n\u003e\n\u003e Curiosity is a great thing! Head over to Google Play or F-Droid and search for a \"hosts manager\" or \"hosts editor\" app. These tools let you view and even customize the list of blocked domains.\n\n## **🛠️ Let's Get This Party Started: Installation Guide**\n\nReady to level up your digital defense? It's as easy as 1-2-3-4:\n\n1.  **Grab \u0026 Install**: Open your root manager (**Magisk**, **KernelSU**, or **APatch**), head to the Modules section, tap the 'Install from storage' button, and select the **StevenBlock** module zip.\n2.  **Choose Your Shield**: An interactive menu will appear during installation. Use your **Volume Up** key to navigate through the blocklist options and **Volume Down** to confirm your selection.\n3.  **Quick Reboot**: Give your device a quick restart to activate **StevenBlock**'s shields.\n4.  **Enjoy the Peace**: Welcome to your new, cleaner, and faster digital world!\n\n## **💖 Support the Project 💖**\n\nEnjoying a cleaner, ad-free digital life thanks to **StevenBlock**? Consider supporting its development! Every coffee you buy helps keep the project alive, updated, and continuously improving.\n\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"https://buymeacoffee.com/mikropsoft\"\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https://img.shields.io/badge/Buy_Me_A_Coffee-FFDD00?style=for-the-badge\u0026logo=buy-me-a-coffee\u0026logoColor=black\" /\u003e\n  \u003c/a\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\nGot questions or want to hang out? Join our **[Telegram group](https://t.me/stevenblockmodule)** and get help from the community!\n\n## **🔔 Hot Off the Press: Updates \u0026 Pro Tips**\n\n\u003e [!IMPORTANT]\n\u003e If you're already using a root solution like **Magisk**, **KernelSU**, or **APatch**, you **do not** need any other \"systemless hosts\" modules. **StevenBlock** handles everything. For best results, avoid using it alongside **AdAway** to prevent conflicts.\n\n\u003e [!INFO]\n\u003e **What's NOT Blocked By Default?**\n\u003e **StevenBlock** focuses on ads, trackers, and malware. It does **not** include blocklists for pornography or gambling websites. If you need those, join our Telegram group! The community often shares custom lists you can use.\n\n\u003e [!NOTE]\n\u003e While we're pros at blocking domains, some ads served directly by browsers (like on YouTube's website) might still sneak through. We're powerful, but not quite magicians!\n\n\u003e [!TIP]\n\u003e We're always evolving! Expect fresh updates 1-2 times a week. Star us on GitHub to stay in the loop. Most root solutions will notify you of updates, but checking our GitHub is always a good idea.\n\n## **🙌 Standing on the Shoulders of Giants**\n\nA huge shoutout to these amazing projects for making **StevenBlock** possible:\n\n-   **[StevenBlack](https://github.com/StevenBlack)** for being the original hosts file guru and inspiration.\n-   **[1Hosts](https://github.com/badmojr)** for providing the excellent alternative blocklists that power our selection menu.\n-   A special thanks to **[ZG089](https://github.com/ZG089)** for their incredible support and contributions to the project.\n\n---\n\n## **🏆 Watch Us Grow!**\n\n![Activities](https://repobeats.axiom.co/api/embed/359376e8fd59201ac45b1f13f73201c3be069b62.svg)\n\n---\n\n## **⭐ Our Rising Star**\n\n[![Star History Chart](https://api.star-history.com/svg?repos=mikropsoft/StevenBlock,Magisk-Modules-Alt-Repo/StevenBlock\u0026type=Date)](https://star-history.com/#mikropsoft/StevenBlock\u0026Magisk-Modules-Alt-Repo/StevenBlock\u0026Date)\n\n---\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/matfantinel/matfantinel/master/waves.svg\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100\"\u003e\n","funding_links":["https://buymeacoffee.com/mikropsoft"],"categories":["Shell","🛡️ Ads and Tracking Blockers"],"sub_categories":["Step 4: **Post-Root Setup**"],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmikropsoft%2FStevenBlock","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmikropsoft%2FStevenBlock","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmikropsoft%2FStevenBlock/lists"}
