- Construct 16y agoIt's better in the sense that it takes 10 seconds from start to finish. If your goal is instead to block the ads completely, I still prefer to use AdBlock Pro and let them manage the block list, rather than clutter up my hosts file.
- jessor 16y agoYea, i use these entries, too. Sadly, it breaks some pages functionality. I was shocked to see that, when you are on paypal.com and click to register a new account, it routes you through some dubious ad network. Scary shit. Saw this behaviour on another rather large site the other day, can't recall the URL though.
