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.

Important Update: Changes to Blocklist Syntax Support
There are wrappers for updating regex lists that can be modified with other URLs. This was floating around for a while: https://github.com/mmotti/pihole-regex/blob/master/install.py and this is another method: https://www.bentasker.co.uk/posts/documentation/general/refreshing-piholes-regex-block-list-from-external-sources.html With enough regex tweaking I bet you could shave at least tens of thousands of lines off your list, and it could be divided into regex entries for domains where it makes sense, with the rest being non-regex domain entries. Simple regex that is functionally equivalent to AdBlock style wildcard blocks won't notably bog down the system either. It might take a few hours to get a workflow going to streamline producing such a list, but it can be done.

Potential problem: Trouble with Pi-hole blocking ads etc
I also have a bunch of RegEx blacklisted from this pihole-regex/regex.list at master · mmotti/pihole-regex · GitHub and these:

Looking for a decent blocklist
Here's a list of domains I've used for years. All of which have been collected from different websites and sources such as https://firebog.net/ and https://github.com/mmotti/pihole-regex.
-
Chrome says that they're no longer allowing ad-blocker extensions to work starting in January
I also suggest these regex blocks

Any simple/conservative lists that just block ads, not trackers that might break mobile apps and web sites?
Your mileage may vary, but a combination of the default pi-hole list, the firebog.net lists (green, checkmark lists only), and the https://github.com/mmotti/pihole-regex/blob/master/regex.list do a pretty complete job for me.

Pi-hole not blocking a good amount of ads
While not perfect, and does not directly address the YouTube ads, I can suggest setting up mmotti's Regex Filters for Pi-hole.
- Corrupted pihole died and it used to block advertisements for other shows on HBO Max. New pihole installation does not. What list/regex entry blocks HBO Max ads?
- Ist there a way to block a URL other than the host file?
-
What regex entries do you use? The regex megathread is several years old at this point and I was unsure if there are any new ones to add.
I did also find these as well: https://github.com/mmotti/pihole-regex/blob/master/regex.list
