Can adblock variants or ghostery do 16 things hosts do for speed, security, & reliability:

1.) Protect vs. malicious sites (beyond malicious ads)
2.) Protect vs. fastflux botnets + stop communique to C&C servers
3.) Protect vs. dynamic dns botnets + stop communique to C&C servers
4.) Protect vs. DGA botnets + stop communique to C&C servers
5.) Protect vs. downed DNS (reliability)
6.) Protect vs. DNS redirect poisoned dns
7.) Protect vs. trackers
8.) Protect vs. spam
9.) Protect vs. phishing
10.) Protect vs. bandwidth caps
11.) Get you by a dnsbl
12.) Keep you off dns request logs
13.) Speed up surfing by adblocks & hardcoded fav. sites
14.) Work on any webbound app (e.g. stand-alone email programs) multiplatform.
15.) Give you easily texteditor controlled data for the above
16.) Block ads more efficiently in cpu cycles + memory use vs. addons

* ANSWER ="NO" to each on AdBlock or Ghostery doing all that let alone well!

APK

P.S.=> Addons do FAR less than hosts do & FAR less efficiently - hosts by way of comparison, do MORE w/ less + Hosts start w/ the IP stack before REDUNDANT inefficient addons BEGIN to operate (as 1st resolver queried):

AdBlock's 4++gb & 100% CPU usage flooring inefficiency -> https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth... + ClarityRay defeats it + it 'souled-out' & is crippled by default paid off to not do its job http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/... & ABP too http://finance.yahoo.com/news/...

Addons add complexity/room for breakdown/exploit + from a slower mode of operations (usermode = more messagepassing overheads vs. hosts in kernelmode).

Find him, bring him, so I can floor him too http://it.slashdot.org/comment... DIRECTLY, again... just like I have yourself here on NUMEROUS GROUNDS BELOW... oh, there is NO doubt of either, see next below, yet again:

* He ran from me before, so did ALL of Arstechnica there & it was hilarious (ars people, who stalked & attacked me across SEVERAL forums, much like you have, only to have their "resident exchange expert" Jay Little admit defeat, leaving in shame for it, claiming "I AM AN EXPERT ON EXCHANGE"... some expert, see link above... lol!)

Come on, Mr. "Security Engineer" who went to a "great school"... do it. That's school's NOT HELPING YOU NOW, is it, wannabe?

NO, lol...I am SCHOOLING YOU easily: Especially with hosts on security (which YOU say is bad, & doesn't work, shall I quote that too again)? Ok, REAL SECURITY PEOPLE show otherwise, & you "ate your words", bitch -> http://it.slashdot.org/comment...

THIS? Man, I just GOTTA say it as per my usual vs. wannabes like you:

THIS was just "too, Too, TOO EASY - just '2ez'" & always is vs. bigmouth blowhards like you.

APK

P.S.=> Face facts, you aren't even WORTH MY TIME, & are a FRACTION of a man, whimp... & when YOU can gain the respect of the BEST AntiMalware firm in the WORLD http://www.av-test.org/en/news... as I have with their admin of MalwareBytes' hpHosts site who HOST MY WARE for me here http://hosts-file.net/?s=Downl... & MalwareBytes ASSHOLE?

Then you can act like YOU are MY 'peer' but not until then, bigshot (bullshitter is more like it)

"You tried to cite OpenDNS earlier as a supporter of hosts files" - by bouldin (828821) on Thursday May 21, 2015 @10:43PM (#49748239)

See subject: I stated hosts & OpenDNS compliment one another:

"By the way, in case you DIDN'T know it? OpenDNS filters vs. threats online (they would KILL *any* malware served that way too, supplementing hosts, supplementing each other (DNS & HOSTS)) - which is WHY the guides I put out for securing Windows users espouses "layered-security"/"defense-in-depth" & I was PAID for them no less - how about you? Oh, that's right - you can't even show us code you wrote YOURSELF, much less an app for security as I have (yet you say I don't know security?)... apk" - by Anonymous Coward on Thursday May 21, 2015 @06:09PM (#49746961)

* You ILLITERATE Georgia HICK - that *claims* to be a 'security engineer' (probably another "GyoJa-Tech" grad, losers of the field) & that "he writes security wares for a firm"... well, WHICH ONE, loser?

No, I am going to tell you what YOU said to me once motherfucker: YOU DON'T HAVE A JOB (me? I don't NEED one, I've been running a successful business of my own now for coming up on a decade - I work for myself, not a wageslave wannabe like you are that does NOT have a job):

"So you're admitting you don't actually have a job, and nobody likes or respects you?" - by bouldin (828821) on Sunday January 25, 2015 @09:45PM (#48901533)

Pussy, listen, when YOU can gain the respect of the BEST AntiMalware firm in the WORLD http://www.av-test.org/en/news... as I have with their admin of MalwareBytes' hpHosts site who HOST MY WARE for me here http://hosts-file.net/?s=Downl... & MalwareBytes ASSHOLE?

THEN, you can 'talk' as a peer!

When NOD32/ESET can be overturned on FP's on my ware as I have done AND had them AGREE I am correct on hosts value in security too in the same stroke -> http://it.slashdot.org/comment...

See subject: Easier records format vs. dns lists + more efficiently too, which you don't deny on any account noted).

* Hosts do that with LESS moving parts as well with no need to "bolt-on" more by using what you already natively have in KERNELMODE (vs. usermode slowness/less cpu servicing).

Lastly: By using my program to create them you get the most comprehensive & current custom hosts file data from 10 reputable reliable sources in the security community who produce it as VERIFIED data and the program keeps hosts extra safe (above & beyond WFP + UAC which Windows protects it with) so the data cannot be corrupted by malware AND creates new hosts files from a pristine backup as well...

There's 9 more reputable hosts file sources possible via APK Hosts File Engine 9.0++ 32/64-bit SR-2 http://start64.com/index.php?o... that you can utilize to catch more ads & exploits online...

It uses all 10 reputable & reliable sites for said data (including MVPS), or allows you to select ONLY the ones you see fit to use should you elect to not use all of them.

It also succeeds in shearing away ANY & ALL useless "bulk" in said hosts files it imports (comments mostly) + it makes the host file more efficient by making the blocking address the most efficient one possible, thus making hosts files BETTER THAN THEY ARE by default - even gaining you MORE speed & reliability + security by "hardcoding" your favorite websites you spend most of your time online at placing them @ the TOP of a custom hosts file for fastest possible access, especially once hosts are cached into RAM (thus, exceeding remote DNS lookups + indexing AND their redirect security faults since most are NOT PATCHED vs. the Kaminsky redirect flaw + gaining you reliable connections if DNS goes "down" & they do, quite a lot...).

That's done simply by decreasing the hosts file's size & line-by-line internal parse speed during the file open/read-write/flush/close I/O cycle (changing said blocking IP address from the larger slower 127.0.0.1 loopback adapter address) & smaller files load into memory faster...

Even Microsoft's VP of their Client Performance Division HAD TO CONCEDE THAT TO ME here -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p... back in 2009 since it's just undeniable fact.

P.S.=> UBlock does FAR less than hosts do & FAR less efficiently - hosts by way of comparison, do MORE w/ less + Hosts start w/ the IP stack before REDUNDANT inefficient addons BEGIN to operate (as 1st resolver queried):

UBlock adds complexity/room for breakdown/exploit + from a slower mode of operations (usermode = more messagepassing overheads vs. hosts in kernelmode).
