Which Ad Block lists are more effective and which ad blocking test do you recommend?
If you want to, you can reevaluate the added lists after 14-30 days using this tool (not supported by PiHole devs) to audit which lists are actually used. I’ve run this tool and discovered that several lists I added weren’t doing anything at all (If you need help with this tool please use the GitHub page to discuss).
- Is there a script/program to test dns resolution for a list of domains?

New PiHole Owner - How many blocklists?
There's also a script which a reddit user (I forget whom) has created that you can use to analyze which of all the lists you have are redundant or unused. Here's his git: https://github.com/yubiuser/pihole_adlist_tool

I have ~4M domains on blocklist, how to determine what is blocking what's not?
The pihole_adlist_tool by yubiuser is probably what you are looking for. It will give you an overview of which of your adlists are actually used and which ones have never provided a single block. It will even automatically deselect the unused adlists for you if you chose so.

Show HN: YouTube banned adblockers so I built an extension to skip their ads
I use the Hosts file to block a ton of ads and that works really well. https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts Something worth considering if your ad blocker isn't working well.

Big things are happening with RaspAP's Ad Blocking 🛑 Users will soon have more blocklist sources to choose from
The no-tracking project used by RaspAP is shutting down, so we took the opportunity to search for open source blocklist alternatives. Among the best is Steven Black's hosts list: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

Browser extensions spy on you, even if its developers don't
You can also use a declarative adblocker like uBlock Origin Lite [1], which only provides the browser with a list of elements to filter, but doesn't have any permissions to read content or perform requests. Or simply use your hosts file to apply OS-wide filtering with no browser add-ons needed: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts
Be aware that if you use these "passive" blocking methods, there are some sites like YouTube where you will see ads, because in these cases it's necessary to actually manipulate page content to hide them. What you can do is use a traditional adblocker but enable it only for these few sites where the declarative approach is not enough, take a look at [2] for more details.

I installed Firefox + uBlock Origin like everyone suggested in my previous post, but this pop-up still appears, now with a 5 sec timer.

[Paid Release]CCAdsBeGone - Customized Ads Blocking At Your Fingertips
When I select my custom hosts file, it basically breaks internet. However, if I choose a custom hosts file that is a copy of the dev's default, or if I just add a few lines to it, it will work. If I add too many lines, or use a different hosts file altogether (like the ones recommended by the dev), all connectivity breaks. Of course the latest official LetMeBlock is installed and mDNSResponder killed/restarted. I'm using Dopamine on A12+.
