  Hostfile blocklist for ads and tracking, updated regularly (by lightswitch05)

I've added the Ads & Tracking list and the AMP Hosts list from Developer Dan to the default list; any others you recommend I add? It's hard to tell if the ads coming through are a 'my blocklist isn't good enough' problem or a 'my pihole's not set up properly yet' problem.

  ⛔ Supercharge your network security with DNS blocklists from The Firebog ⛔ Daily updates shield you from ads, trackers, malware, phishing, crypto, and NSFW content ⛔ Works with AdGuard Home, Pi-Hole, and adblock browser extensions for a safer, ad-free world wide web experience ⛔

For lists, I would recommend going through the Firebog and choosing a few green lists from each category, then seeing how everything feels for a week or two. Generally once you have a few solid lists, you’re better off finding the domains of ads that are still showing up and blocking them individually. After a certain point, adding more lists just unnecessarily increases the size of your gravity database and is more likely to cause false positives, leading to issues on certain sites. I’ve got 14 lists set up, mostly from Firebog, and that seems to be a good balance for my household’s purposes.
