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.

Can someone help me make a p*rn block list? I found a website that lists nearly 4000 websites but I don't know how to code and don't want to copy each link individually

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.

Ublock Origin becomes #1 Firefox addon, beating Adblock Plus
But keep it mind that it has been discontinued quite some time ago, so keep an eye on the issue-tracker for vulnerabilities.

Test your Ad Blocking
Is it a good idea to be using uMatrix? I was under the impression that development on the project ended back in 2020, the code is archived and no longer actively maintained.
-
No, uMatrix is not completely dead, and gosh no, uBlock does not replace it and NoScript whatsoever
uMatrix gives you control over the requests that websites make to other websites. Many websites integrate features which let other websites track you, such as Facebook Like Buttons or Google Analytics. uMatrix allows 1st party scripts in its default configuration. If you want the default functionality of NoScript consider blocking 1st party scripts everywhere by default. This addon has been discontinued.

Google Removed ClearURLs Extension from Chrome Web Store
Raymond Hill has stopped developing uMatrix and also stopped accepting PRs because it's currently too much work for him [1]. So be aware that bugs will probably not be fixed.

What are some alternatives?
When comparing FilterLists and uMatrix-issues you can also consider the following projects:
pihole-regex - Custom regex filter list for use with Pi-hole.
WindowsSpyBlocker - Block spying and tracking on Windows
uMatrix - uMatrix: Point and click matrix to filter net requests according to source, destination and type
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.
