I don’t really care what lists people use. Having said that, I opened a ticket 7 months ago about their hosts formatted lists have HTML in it as well as several invalid entries. The ticket is still open and no one who has commented on it has any clue how to get it fixed. Doesn’t really speak well to the quality of the project IMO, ticket: https://github.com/EnergizedProtection/block/issues/547
Glad you like it. If your interested in why it’s not ticked, you can read the conversation here: https://github.com/WaLLy3K/wally3k.github.io/issues/99
Firebog's easy tick list has been great: https://v.firebog.net/hosts/lists.php?type=tick There is a tool advertised on the site to help keep it in sync, though I've never used it: https://github.com/jacklul/pihole-updatelists Personally I keep mine in sync with a script run as a daily job by anacron: https://github.com/LoganBresnahan/pihole_cron_scripts/blob/main/pihole-adlist-adder-remover

A good example of what I mean is the XBox Live achievements. It uses a tracker to create those- and it’s a generic tracker, not just for Xbox live. It is blocked in my list, which is great for anyone who doesn’t have or care about Xbox live achievements. If you would rather be tracked and have Xbox live achievements, then ‘opt-in’ to it by whitelisting the tracking domain. See more here: https://github.com/lightswitch05/hosts#xbox-live-achievements
