GoodbyeAds VS blocklists

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

It lets you run the "on-device" version of RethinkDNS+. It lets you set blocklists to help you block domains based on categories such as trackers & ads, cryptocurrencies, gambling, social media, adult, security etc with precurated list of blocklists (which are defined here). These are DNS-based blocklists, so as such, they're less powerful than anti-ad browsers like Brave, Vivaldi or browser-based plugins like uBlockOrigin, AdGuard.

There's an open issue to include it: github/serverless-dns/blocklists/issues/21 (the reason we haven't already is that it isn't clear if existing blocklists are insufficient compared to it).

Filter list: Rethink actually has had 1:1 filter support with NextDNS for a long time. It doesn't now since NextDNS has moved a lot of its filters away from the erstwhile open metadata repository. So, now we do our own lists: https://github.com/serverless-dns/blocklists

Commit: https://github.com/serverless-dns/blocklists/commit/ffc73385e166e4d74af20471abfda327f7d89bb8

The code that generates the blocklists is also open source.

We _do_ compile to reduce memory and cpu impact. RethinkDNS app can do 5M entries without breaking a sweat. You don't see us ask folks to not use larger lists because the implementation is such. The code which compresses these blocklists into a compact form for use on mobile devices is open source: github.com/serverless-dns/blocklists/

The repository that builds these (and other lists) for RethinkDNS (the resolver) is at https://github.com/serverless-dns/blocklists
