GoodbyeAds VS hosts

Try goodbyeads it removes Almost all ads on android apps including youtube i tried it with the original youtube app and it worked

Ask in the GoodbyeAds and Energized. Note that you don't need to enable multiple version of Energized list, each of these version contains all content of next : Ultimate->Basic->Blu-Blu Go->Spark.

I see. seems my problem isn't coming from Firefox, rather than PiHole as a service with GoodBye Ads List. Most of meta platform now is horrible. I'm out (only Whatsapp seems a little bit okay) https://github.com/jerryn70/GoodbyeAds/issues/309

The thing with instagram was mentioned on their github issues. Following the issue page I tried adding i.instagram.com to the allowlist and so far it has been working for me.

Jerryn70's lists are here: https://github.com/jerryn70/GoodbyeAds

NetShield uses very basic ad blocking lists, and it's not going to block every ad, or every type of ad. It doesn't block YouTube ads. Goodbye Ads has a dedicated YouTube list you can try with a dedicated ad blocker, like uBlock Origin.

No, those are the main blocklists. If you go to the Goodbye Ads repository, you'll see they have a specific Spotify blocklist. The main blocklist won't do anything for Spotify. As for Lightswitch05, I was mistaken. They don't have a Spotify blocklist extension like Goodbye Ads does.

It's listed on uBo special list and listed on nextDNS tracking list. and listed also in https://github.com/jerryn70/GoodbyeAds

Not by default but a blocklist can be found here https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

While it is now unblocked, the Steven Black list has been blocking a lot of innocent CDNs.

How does this compare to using a hosts file with known ad servers?

like: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

I use the Hosts file to block a ton of ads and that works really well. https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts Something worth considering if your ad blocker isn't working well.

The no-tracking project used by RaspAP is shutting down, so we took the opportunity to search for open source blocklist alternatives. Among the best is Steven Black's hosts list: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

No idea, api.radar.io is on the block list since January 2020.

The commit's comment is "major update from adaway.org"

You can also use a declarative adblocker like uBlock Origin Lite [1], which only provides the browser with a list of elements to filter, but doesn't have any permissions to read content or perform requests. Or simply use your hosts file to apply OS-wide filtering with no browser add-ons needed: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

Be aware that if you use these "passive" blocking methods, there are some sites like YouTube where you will see ads, because in these cases it's necessary to actually manipulate page content to hide them. What you can do is use a traditional adblocker but enable it only for these few sites where the declarative approach is not enough, take a look at [2] for more details.

When I select my custom hosts file, it basically breaks internet. However, if I choose a custom hosts file that is a copy of the dev's default, or if I just add a few lines to it, it will work. If I add too many lines, or use a different hosts file altogether (like the ones recommended by the dev), all connectivity breaks. Of course the latest official LetMeBlock is installed and mDNSResponder killed/restarted. I'm using Dopamine on A12+.
