SpaceX will start delivering Starlink for aviation from 2023
ClearURLs locally re-writes common "bounce" redirect links, avoiding a double round-trip when clicking on Google search links (among many others). I supplement this with Redirector for some light automation (old.reddit.com etc), but that's probably overkill.

How do I cleanup a Thunderbird Reddit email link that I open in Firefox?
You can use Request Control to remove specific or all parameters from URLs from certain domains and do all kinds of redirections with them. If you find it too complicated, use the ClearURLs support page to ask them to clean up Reddit links for you.

Where do you all get your DNS block lists from? Is there a public forum that has a list of them?
They are all here, sortable by syntaxe or software: https://filterlists.com/
- Blocking percentage is relatively low. Is it same for everyone or am i missing something?

App that detects shorts-format content overconsumption
1) I deleted youtube and similar apps from my phone 2) Switched default browser to firefox, and installed the uBlock origin extension 3) Searched for filter lists on https://filterlists.com/ that block YT shorts, YT recommendations etc., even hide the "Shorts" button.
- Are there any third party filter lists worth importing into uBlock?
-
Using FMovies(dot)to Redirected me to strange website
You 100% do not need 3 adblockers. uBlock Origin with sufficient filters and the right blocking mode is all you need.

I wish those anti-adblock pop ups were made illegal, carrying the death penalty.
ALUST is the first example that came to mind, don't discard my point because of that when filterlists.com is right there.

Based on various scientific studies, it takes at least 10-15 minutes for programmer to get back into the "zone" after an interruption. There are interesting resumption strategies for interrupted programming tasks.
There's also some mobile annoyances lists you can add. filterlists.com is a good place to start exploring.

Blocklist Syntax
You can just go to FilterLists and choose Pi-hole in the software column to see hundreds of options. Hell, if someone doesn't want to do any digging at all, they can even use the default aggregated blocklists from a service like Mullvad straight from their Github repository and call it a day. The whole thing is ridiculous. I don't get why anyone would limit themselves to one list on a flexible platform like Pi-hole, where they can easily pick a few carefully maintained lists and literally have the software aggregate those sources for them. The notion that Pi-hole isn't flexible is insane too, with regex easily filling in for AdBlock Plus syntax and the like.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing ClearUrls and FilterLists you can also consider the following projects:
uBlock - uBlock Origin - An efficient blocker for Chromium and Firefox. Fast and lean.
pihole-regex - Custom regex filter list for use with Pi-hole.
adfilt - The place where I, DandelionSprout, store my web filter lists for countless topics, including my Nordic adblock list. As simple as that, really.
WindowsSpyBlocker - Block spying and tracking on Windows
Neat-URL - Neat URL cleans URLs, removing parameters such as Google Analytics' utm parameters.
The Blocklist Project - These lists were created because the founder of the project wanted something with a little more control over what is being blocked. Many lists out there are all or nothing. We set out to create lists with more control over what is being blocked and believe that we have accomplished that.
