Hosts: more domains?

Created on 8 Jan 2019 · 8Comments · Source: StevenBlack/hosts

Hi @StevenBlack!

I just want to share my list.
Can you merge (not a separate data source) those into your own list?
or... I don't know, you may just want to merge those so I can clean-up the gist 😸

How I stumble upon those list:

Use Chrome Beta (v70) for chrome://net-internals#dns (because the new chrome stable version removed the net-internals)
Visit my everyday sites like those random forums, tech news sites, p*rn sites, etc
Clean DNS Cache via net-internals#dns > Visit site > check sketchy domains > list down sh*t domains > Clean DNS Cache > visit other site > rinse and repeat
Verify the _sketchy_ domains by Googling it or by hand-picking them
Sketchy to me are those domains that _shouldn't be there_, those who serve image ads, those domains who serve fake notification prompts, those domains that do ad redirects, and etc (you know, typical ad annoyance using mobile)

I don't recognize any domains I've had issues with blocking

Hm, interesting.

Why is gearbest.com in the list?

Agreed.Looks like legitimate site...which led me to check it out and see if there is something new to block.
And of course there is:
@StevenBlack api-bts.logsss.com is for you as you already have analytics.logsss.com in your #Analytics section(same family)
P.S. Tested,nothing breaks.
@lightswitch05 js.affasi.com is for you.The script redirects to www.firstgrabber.com which i believe is a tracker.
Link to the actual script: https://js.affasi.com/affasi_web.min.js for inspection (it's safe)
