HostsMan is quite easy for testing, even has non install and Server version.

@Zalex108 But the question is: Do you see ads on YouTube?

@Zalex108 But the question is: Do you see ads on YouTube?
I'm seeing with yours more than with mine. ยฟ?
On mine just one at Home, left side.
None on videos.With yours, on Home, videos and on top right side.
I've disabled all other lists while testing.
I'll check it close later, something would be wrong with cookies maybe. -
@Zalex108 hm, interesting indeed!
The major struggle I had to deal with is unfortunately YouTube's adsโฆ
The AI picked up most cyphers, but it is constantly changing โฆ

I use uMatrix... what is this strange word
ad
?Tested years ago but...
uBlock is enough here xD

I'll recheck in a new Clean Profile.
The HostsFile has entries from various Sources, I'll share them if necessary.

...yet i do not need to fart about with the hopelessly Sisyphean task of managing constantly superseded block lists. A brief steep initial uM learning curve provides consequent years of labour-free deterrence & avoidance. IMO that's an unbeatable Cost-Benefit ratio.

Yes,
Good to learn and avoid dependency.
How big is the DataBase?
uBlock here is around 20/30Mb with defaults and custom entries and lists. -

Easier:+/- 10Mb less.
I'll test during the day. -
@Zalex108 Oh, I do not have a single WIndows PC, sorry! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

Um, if you ask me that question then you have misunderstood the primary strength of uMatrix. It seems like maybe you're working with a false paradigm wrt uM.
Whilst it can / does uses lists, they are but a subset of its armoury. IMO the unassailable arrow in uM's quiver is its dynamic rules, set by the user, on a micro-granular level, via a powerful graphical UI. This provides a peerless defence against all dodgy websites, & dodgy elements on otherwise respectable websites.
Possibly you need to read up on the copious notes provided by its Dev? They're extremely educational & explanatory.

@Zalex108 I don't know, i don't care. This is entirely missing the point. I'll bow out now.

Too fast to fix the first one! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes: -
@Zalex108
The cipher decryption of your idea is strong, shall I say...
I understand that it is another hosts config file, but to which purpose you sent that, may I ask? -
You said you've used EasyList, Steven Black is a Mix of many lists, included Easy List if I remember, so just in case it would help you with your lists creation.

@Zalex108 Even with 1.5m entries?
