hosts-blocklists VS The Blocklist Project

https://github.com/notracking/hosts-blocklists seems dead. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/master/LegitimateURLShortener.txt should work except the regex rules.

had the same issue, was caused by notracking

Unfortunate that the map is on your simpleanalytics.com site. NextDNS tells me it is blocked by the notracking list: https://github.com/notracking/hosts-blocklists

Here is a project that attempts to do that

This one is good, very few false positives: https://github.com/blocklistproject/Lists/blob/master/porn.txt

Here's a good starting list of TikTok hosts, of which overlaps a few of ByteDance's domains: https://github.com/blocklistproject/Lists/blob/master/tiktok...

For the past few years I've just used the standard StevenBlack one that is enabled by default when you setup PiHole, and it covers the large majority of ads. The only ads I still see are on YouTube and Twitch, and as far as I know those can't be blocked with a DNS sinkhole since the ads are served from the same domain as the content. The lists on that site seem like they let you block a bunch of other stuff, not necessarily ads, but domains related to gambling, crypto, TikTok etc. That's a bit different.

There are lots of great sources for block lists. I used some site a long time ago that helped you build a custom list. I cant find the link but still lots of good sources like : https://github.com/blocklistproject/Lists

do check out: blocklist project Homepage: https://blocklist.site

i using one off these: https://github.com/blocklistproject/Lists/blob/master/tiktok.txt
