oisd vs The Blocklist Project

oisd

oisd blocklist (by sjhgvr)

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)

Blocky – a DNS proxy and ad-blocker for the local network
6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 8 Apr 2024

I’ve been using https://oisd.nl/ on my network for some time (just cronned into an unbound config file) and nothing breaks.
If you report a website breaking to the maintainer, he removes the offending block.
Works well, I can recommend it.
And it reminds my to send them a little money in thanks.
Runs on your OpenWrt box: AdGuard Home is network-wide blocking ads and tracking

It entirely depends on which blocklist(s) you use. I had to stop using the StevenBlack list because it started breaking a lot of things, apparently intentionally.
I switched to the https://oisd.nl Big List, which has been great... although it did break GitHub yesterday. That was the first breakage since I switched, and it was fixed when I reported. But still, keeping an eye on it.

BlockList Project?
6 projects | /r/pihole | 16 Apr 2023

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
