MVP hosts file
Contents
MVP hosts is a good start if you’re looking to block ad-serving domains.
However, these entries have to be FQDNs – fully qualified domain names, so *.doubleclick.net
or doubleclick.net
won’t work.
Furthermore, the scope of this setup applies only to your local machine.
The large filesize (~16k lines) also means reduced performance since there are multiple lines for the same TLD; e.g., activity.serving-sys.com
, bs.serving-sys.com
.
