Curious why I can't offload this task to a DNS server?
If such a solution truly doesn't exist (and I don't mean OpenDNS), would anyone like to talk about building something like that?
- JoshTriplett 11y ago> Curious why I can't offload this task to a DNS server? DNS doesn't provide nearly enough precision for ad blocking. Many servers serve both ads and content. Random example: some sites host actual non-ad video content on doubleclick.
- kuschku 11y agoCould you point me to an example of non-ad content doubleclick hosts? I haven’t ever seen such content before.
- JoshTriplett 11y agoLast time I looked through EasyList, it had some comments explicitly mentioning that they can't just block all of doubleclick because some sites (such as news sites) host their content videos there.
- djKianoosh 11y agoactually, just update your hosts file with something like this: http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/ http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/
- winslow 11y agoWould putting it on the DNS work as expected? Hypothetical Example: Two websites have google ads WebsiteA and WebsiteB. I want to support websiteA by allowing google ads on there but not on WebsiteB. The only way to allow google ads to WebsiteA would be from the DNS which would also allow google ads to WebsiteB.
