  It's fairly easy to determine what's breaking things. With something like online purchases, one of the domains will be for a payment processor that you've probably heard of, accept things from them and it will likely work. More generally, you can often find a domain that calls itself a cdl, and those are usually needed. And sadly, if the site doesn't seem to work at all it probably needs google. Oh, and it is basically never something in dark red.

  If you want to replicate that kind of configuration that is as painless as possible you just have to go into the extension options/configuration. Head to the "My rules" tab and you will find a rule, towards the top of the rule list, that says: "* * * block" This rule acts as a default blacklist. If you switch it to: "* * * allow" it will allow everything by default (except the blacklisted domains, which overrule this). Then in the "Assets" tab you can configure your blacklists, I can recommend Steven Black's lists. He curates and consolidates several of the most famous ones: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts He maintains several variants according to themes you may want to ban (adware, malware, fakenews...). Choose the combination that suits you.
