1Hosts VS PiHoleBlocklist

Others include badmojr's excellent blocklists and OISD's dnsmasq-ready domains lists.

Oh btw a sidenote: instead of the Energized lists you can use the 1Hosts lists, it is awesome as well.

I think 1Hosts PRO is a good replacement, but try Lite or Pro whichever you prefer. https://github.com/badmojr/1Hosts You may try combining other HOSTS lists with this if you want to, and are technically adept enough.

For what it's worth that domain in your repo is also listed in the 1Hosts block-list [1] but only in the Xtra category, not sure why. It seems that is a known malware site. Oddly enough it is not listed in the PiHoleBlocklist [2]

Well, our goal is to stay problem free 100% of the time while maximizing our effectivness. The lists we use are as follows: https://abp.oisd.nl/ https://github.com/badmojr/1Hosts/raw/master/Lite/adblock.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CipherOps/AdList/main/Blocklist

I will strongly suggest to opt out from their lists. That's what I did. 1Hosts is very good and the people in charge of the lists respond and are pretty helpful. https://github.com/badmojr/1Hosts

If you have it switched on, try accessing https://o0.pages.dev/

There's a specific list for it: https://github.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist/

It's listed on https://firebog.net/

Here’s a specific blocklist for Smart TVs that can be used in Adguard Home: https://github.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist

Smart-TV Blocklist

For example, https://github.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist/blob/master/SmartTV.txt blocks tons of crap tv's send out, but firewalla doesn't stop much of it and you know how smart devices are. Yes, you could make a manual list, but is insanely time intensive. Smart devices on my network; nextdns blocks over 10000 connections a day.

I use this [1] and never seen an ad on my LG TV. Its only for Smart TVs. It blocks all the major TV ad networks too but can't tell how successful it is on other TVs since I only have LG.
