Using a Hosts File To Make The Internet Not Suck (as much)

This is a comprehensive hosts file designed to block known tracking, advertising, malware, and spyware domains by redirecting them to your local machine (127.0.0.1), preventing your browser from connecting to those servers. It includes categories for hijackers, analytics trackers, ad networks, phishing sites, and crypto-mining operations, with over thousands of domain entries maintained and updated by Dan Pollock to improve online privacy and security.
