- k1m 11y agoThank you. You're right, pure host-based blocking is not currently detected by the site. We'll try to include that too. At the moment we're relying on a rule in Easy List - https://easylist.adblockplus.org/en/ https://easylist.adblockplus.org/en/ - it's used by Adblock Plus, uBlock, AdGuard and a probably others. But we need to take into account other methods/blockers that don't rely on this list.
- majewsky 11y agoMy two layers of blocking are also not detected. Layer 1: Similar to what @accommodavid has, my router uses several lists of ad-server domains to block requests to them. The list URLs are at https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/963eacfe0537a7abddf30441c754c67ca1e40965/gravity.sh#L9-L16 https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/963eacfe0537a7abddf3... Layer 2: My browser has uMatrix. It is set up to only allow a) first-party requests of any kind, and b) third-party requests for images and CSS. (So on your site, the JS from ajax.googleapis.com is blocked.)
