Hosts: Extra Tracking Protection For tracking-aggressive-extended.txt

You can use these to help protect against tracking by popups or IPs (on insecure sites).

! Block insecure (HTTP) popups
/^http:/$popup
! Block insecure (HTTP) popunders on supported adblockers
/^http:/$popunder
! Block IP addresses on insecure domains
^http*:\/\/([0-9]{1,3}.){3}[0-9]{1,3}$domain=http://

It's a hosts lists. You cannot use ABP syntax.

Thanks for your input @Cybo1927. Unfortunately, the hosts format is drastically limited when compared to other blocking formats like the ones you鈥檝e listed. None of the blocks you listed are compatible with my hosts formatted list. See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29?wprov=sfti1

Ah, didn't realizze it was a hosts file like that. Figured it was meant mostly for ad/general content blockers. Great to know though, I'm trying to help the smaller lists block trackers that the main ones (like HP's or Dan Pollock's) don't.
