Any browser plugin is inferior to using a hosts file. This is objectively false. A hosts file blocklist cannot: - Global blacklist and whitelist select URLs - Block all sub-domains of a given URL - Block third-party iframes and scripts (with whitelist) A hosts file's feature set is not a superset of a browser based solution and the two complement each other.
