If you are using Firefox, they have started the war against browser fingerprinting: https://blog.mozilla.org/firefox/how-to-block-fingerprinting-with-firefox/ https://blog.mozilla.org/firefox/how-to-block-fingerprinting... So, with a strong hosts file, a blocker/noscript/privacy badger we are in a better place. It is always a cat and mouse game though.. My go-to for HOSTS is: https://someonewhocares.org/hosts/ https://someonewhocares.org/hosts/

I've been using the MVPS HOSTS file [0] on Windows for a long time. I don't know if it is maintained any better than any other curated HOSTS files, but its been around for 20 years. I've just confirmed that it is still a Filter Lists option in uBlock Origin. The web page sure gets points for being state-of-the-art circa 1998. At least there's no Blink tags. :) [0] http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm

  My "objection" with having some things ONLY on the browser, is that there are other applications that speak with the internet (e.g. Windows Telemetry). I didn't see anyone mentioning this, a very useful site for Browsers' filters: https://filterlists.com/ https://filterlists.com/

I think this GitHub one is a bit better documented maybe, but both look good. https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

  Steven's host file even includes "someonewhocares"'s.
