The Blocklist Project
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.

At the beginning, I have found an issue, where I was supposed to move App Icon from Dock to Tray for macOS users. It sounds really simple. However, project is written in Go which I had never used before. If you are a reader that is familiar with my blogs, you definitely know how often I learn new programming-languages. Going forward, I decided to learn Go lang from scratch.
