# Details

A collection of Blocklists for various Purposes. In comparison to other Lists which are all or nothing, you can exactly choose what you want to block.

If you find something in a List that you believe is a mistake or breaks functionality, please contact me. The same goes for unblocked Subdomains of blocked root Domains, please let me know, so I can add it properly.


These Blocklists are compatible with all devices, regardless of the OS, speed up Page Loading, let pages look cleaner, remove most Ads, enhance Privacy, lower bandwidth, CPU, memory and battery usage.



# Usage

with Pi-Hole, works almost identical with AdGuardHome



with uBlock Origin (same goes for AdGuard and any similar Add-ons)


On Android I recommend using AdAway and on iOS Blokada



All lists are accessible using the following Scheme: 

 
- Domains only: https://ente.dev/api/blocklist/blocklist-name/

 
- Host Files: https://ente.dev/api/blocklist/blocklist-name-hosts/

 
Example: https://ente.dev/api/blocklist/suspicious or https://ente.dev/api/blocklist/tracking-hosts




If you need further help, don't hesitate to contact me!

# Awesome Projects

Thanks to the following, great Projects that are partially included in BetterBlocklist adding to my own Research (and maybe even yours, I would appreciate your Contribution :)

# Additions

- Dependencies are updated automatically every day.



- Why should I avoid CCleaner?



- Your hosts file Location:

   - Linux, Unix and Mac OS X -> ``/etc/hosts``

   - Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10 and 11 -> ``C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts``

   - Windows 2000 -> ``C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts``

   - Windows 98/ME -> ``C:\WINDOWS\hosts``


WARNING: Do not use Host files larger than 1MB on Windows directly, Windows can't handle that and won't do any lookups anymore for some obscure reason. Rather use Pi-Hole or AdGuardHome



- The ente.dev Domain uses Cloudflare Argo Smart Routing and CDN in combination with a strong Server for the fastest delivery possible globally, so you shouldn't experience much delay in pulling updates from these lists.



- I very much recommend you to use unbound in addition to Pi-Hole for better Privacy



A great Way of finding fake Shops is just searching the following Keywords:

 - Kindly keep in mind that we produce on demand. We do not stock items

 - Every day we receive more appreciative emails from satisfied customers all over the world

 - Everyday, we strive to deliver high quality products with the greatest customer experience possible



If you have any questions about this project, open an issue and let's have a discussion! :3
