hblock VS castblock

I'm talking something like hblock (https://hblock.molinero.dev/) which is for host blocking malceous+ other websites. Imagine blocking every single address manually. To get a picture how impossible it be here is the sample hosts file (https://hblock.molinero.dev/hosts) just do line count and you will understand.

they will never block open source world! For Linux: https://github.com/hectorm/hblock For Linux/Win/Android https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

A quick and dirty solution is just using something likehBlock, that will block most unnecessary traffic (malware from Google, Meta, Microsoft, and generic advertising companies, etc.)

I just came across this tool hblock that seems simpler to install and run.

An Australian got an error with their postal tracking app, compare Hagezi's "OK we'll whitelist it so your app doesn't break" vs hblock's "Meh, go report to the source list maintainer".

If you want systemwide block you may look hblock

Yeah, definitely going to skip that list. Compare how Hagezi and hblock deal with the exact same issue, still not going to adopt it because the hype turns me off, but at least I prefer "ok, we make sure the site you visit doesn't break" compared to dismissive "oh it's a tracker so it's your fault".

Maybe try this! https://github.com/stephen304/castblock

It was heavily inspired by stephen304/castblock, but that had some limitations. I later discovered some other oss projects that also were designed to work around these limitations, but there were none yet that were written in PHP.
