Block Adware and Malware with /etc/hosts
https://github.com/Ultimate-Hosts-Blacklist/Ultimate.Hosts.B...
Don't forget about hosts.deny (but you probably need it at your router if you are behind one).

Anything to block trackers from desktop apps?
You might also look into HOSTS file editors and lists of servers to block. HOSTS is a single file you can edit on a Windows machine using a standard text editor. I used to follow this closely so I don't have a recommendation on which list to use, but here's a possible starting point: https://github.com/Ultimate-Hosts-Blacklist/Ultimate.Hosts.Blacklist

How to add custom blocklist?
I think the main source I use that doesn't seem to be in rethinkDNS is the Ultimate Hosts Blacklist's hosts and/or hosts.deny files.

Adblock from MX Linux
So it presumably has the same function as a hosts file. You can find examples like this which is portable to any Linux (or Windows) installation.

Goodbye chrome, hello Opera Gx, Firefox, Microsoft Edge and Brave!
One thing I can suggest that will ALWAYS work is blocking known ad websites on host file level: https://github.com/Ultimate-Hosts-Blacklist/Ultimate.Hosts.Blacklist (or equivalent, there's a lot of resources for it if you look it up)

Firefox 118
Right, but Firefox’s ETP blocks Statcounter’s JS (see https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protecti... which is where, I believe, Mozilla source their ETP blocklist from).

Question regarding portmaster's use of a depricated ad-list
Is there a particular reason portmaster uses the depricated and unofficial Disconnect.me Ad Domains (DM-AD) found at https://s3.amazonaws.com/lists.disconnect.me/simple_ad.txt rather than the official up-to-date list found at https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protection/blob/master/services.json ?

?
You're wrong. People have noticed that they use Whiteops (now called HUMAN Security) browser fingerprinting.

I downloaded a supposed cryptocurrency miner on pc and I thought I deleted it but deep in my files there are folders called "sigma" the name of cryptocurrency miner and they also have a file called cryptomining.data
The lists are part of an open source project that can be found on Github.

Which Tracking list is Brave's Default tracker and content blocking list and how to find it?
Like Microsoft Edge has shared that they use Disconnect's list. Which list is being used by Brave?
- Is Firefox not always able to identify a tracker, or does tracker not include what i think it does?

John Oliver Blackmails Congress With Their Own Digital Data - The ‘Last Week Tonight’ host paid shady brokers for lawmakers’ digital histories — promising not to release the info so long as Congress passes legislation protecting all consumers’ data
However the ultimate proof that it’s effective is that advertisers use it: a quarter of the top 10,000 websites globally use fingerprinting (https://www.zdnet.com/article/a-quarter-of-the-alexa-top-10k-websites-are-using-browser-fingerprinting-scripts/) and basically every company you’ve heard of uses it: https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protection/blob/master/descriptions.md

Firefox focus blocks more trackers than DDG browser. 40 trackers vs 9. Any idea why DDG is less agressive?
Firefox Focus is based on the Mozilla/Firefox/Disconnect tracking block-lists. (https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protection)
-
Is Edge's tracking protection same with firefox or even better in protecting user data?
Edge and Firefox use lists provided by Disconnect. I find it quite lacking. If you take a look at their GitHub, it's only occasionaly updated and there's a lot of ignored open issues.

Mozilla Explains: Cookies and supercookies
I see what you're saying. I don't expect that will have much, if any, effect. First, their block list is limited: https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protection/blob/master/services.json
