Title: "Updates Hosts Files Using a Multi-Source Unified Block List" Date: 2017-01-17 11:13:35 Categories: [cli] tags: [hosts]
There are many helpful lists maintained online with constantly-updated hosts files that contain the domains of various Internet crap peddlers. Copying these lists into your hosts file can easily block a large number of domains that your system would be better off unable to connect to. This method works without installing a browser plug-in and will handle blocking for any browser (and any other program) on the system.
