HOST file ad blocking. Bang! Problem solved.

This works so well I have a vastly different user experience than other people. I rarely see ads and pages load fast.
Of course, you can't do this on the stupid devices we use but don't actually control (phone, tablets, I'm looking at you), so I wish someone would offer a DNS service that blocks these. I'm thinking of creating one for myself at this point.
- icandothis 11y agoYou can do this on any Android phone if you have root as it has a standard hosts file on it. I used to use that exact hosts file on my phone but I found a compressed version that was for iOS and is only 28kb big. It blocks the same sites but it just a bit more lean.
