            1 Adblocking using /etc/hosts
            2 ===========================
            3 
            4 Adblocking is a non-trivial task, but there are trivial solutions.
            5 
            6 host-gen
            7 --------
            8 
            9 Install hosts-gen from <https://r-36.net/scm/hosts-gen>
           10 
           11         % git clone git://r-36.net/hosts-gen
           12         % cd hosts-gen
           13         % sudo make install
           14 
           15 Make sure all your custom configuration from your current /etc/hosts is
           16 preserved in a file in /etc/hosts.d. The files have to begin with a
           17 number, a minus and then the name.
           18 
           19 Install the gethostszero script.
           20 
           21         # In the above directory.
           22         % sudo cp examples/gethostszero /bin
           23         % sudo chmod 775 /bin/gethostszero
           24         % sudo /bin/gethostszero
           25         % sudo hosts-gen 
           26 
           27 Now the /etc/hosts with the zero hosts is ready and will be used in any
           28 further started application.
           29 
           30 The gethostszero file can of course be reused to more easier create the
           31 /etc/hosts file. A cronjob can be used to update the file and run hosts-gen
           32 again.

           41 The following script gather well-known and trusted lists from various
           42 places : [adaway](https://adaway.org/hosts.txt), 
           43 [someonewhocares](https://someonewhocares.org/hosts/zero/hosts),
           44 [pgl.yoyo](https://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/serverlist.php?hostformat=hosts&showintro=0&mimetype=plaintext)...
           45 
           46 They are supposed to be written in `/etc/hosts` file to disable DNS resolution.
           47 
           48 Get the script from here :
           49 [zerohosts.sh](https://si3t.ch/code/zerohosts/zerohost.sh).
           50 
           51 Include your own `/etc/hosts` rules by including a file as an argument
           52 
           53         zerohosts.sh /etc/myhosts.txt > /etc/hosts
           54 
           55 Run the script each time you want to update the lists using a cronjob, or
           56 `/etc/rc.local`.

           65 --------
           66 
           67 If you don't want to use your /etc/hosts file, you can use firejail:
           68     
           69     firejail --noprofile --hosts-file="~/adblockhosts" surf "example.com"
