I've found some content won't appear/work if ads are blocked. So in some cases I temporarily whitelist a site in AdBlock or Ghostery. With a HOSTS file, isn't that sort of thing a lot more painful?
(I used to use the HOSTS method but stopped for that reason.)
- falcolas 11y agoThis has yet to affect me to the point of me actually noticing that anything was broken. The worst I'll see is a lot of extraneous whitespace on a webpage where an ad would have been. That said, frankly, if a web site won't work properly because it can't load content from an ad network, then it's probably not a site I'd want to visit and pull information from.
