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. (by blocklistproject)

    but the list got so long it was unmaintainable and even a REGEX stack struggled to split it from the actual video servers and led to programs being created to try to manage the mess (e.g. this closed one had 9000+ entries).

  • Os anúncios na internet estão a chegar a um ponto absurdo. A dada altura neste site, a página inteira estava cravada de anúncios de cima a baixo. No Instagram já 1 em cada 5 posts são anúncios. Outras redes sociais, idem. É exaustivo ver tantos anúncios a toda a hora mas é assim a internet de hoje

    Alternately, using YouTube in a browser with the oisd blocklist and this dedicated youtube ads blocklist should block most ads, but it won’t be reliable.
