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

1.) Protect vs. malicious sites/servers (beyond malicious ads: See 2-10 next)
2.) Protect vs. fastflux botnets + stop communication to C&C servers
3.) Protect vs. dynamic dns botnets + stop communication to C&C servers
4.) Protect vs. DGA botnets + stop communication to C&C servers
5.) Protect vs. downed DNS (adds 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 past a dnsbl
12.) Keep you off dns request logs
13.) Speed up websurfing by adblocks & hardcoded fav. sites
14.) Work on ANY webbound app (think stand-alone email programs) multiplatform.
15.) Give you easily texteditor controlled data for the above
16.) Do all that & block ads (better than addons) more efficiently in cpu cycles + memory usage

* ANSWER ="NO" to each above on AdBlock doing it as well or at all!

APK

P.S.=> AdBlock 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):

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/...

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

2.) Protect vs. fastflux botnets + stop communication to C&C servers
3.) Protect vs. dynamic dns botnets + stop communication to C&C servers
4.) Protect vs. DGA botnets + stop communication to C&C servers
5.) Protect vs. downed DNS (adds 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 past a dnsbl
12.) Keep you off dns request logs
13.) Speed up websurfing by adblocks & hardcoded fav. sites
14.) Work on ANY webbound app (think stand-alone email programs) multiplatform.
15.) Give you easily texteditor controlled data for the above
16.) Do all that & block ads (better than addons) more efficiently in cpu cycles + memory usage

See subject BarbaraHudson: Neither is true. That's libel from you. He's done this in software recently, and it's done well, have you? From apk's posts:

Show us all you've done more, BETTER than I have from a partial list of my favorites only then:

Windows NT Magazine (now Windows IT Pro) April 1997 "BACK OFFICE PERFORMANCE" issue, page 61

(&, for work done for EEC Systems/SuperSpeed.com on PAID CONTRACT (writing portions of their SuperCache program increasing its performance by up to 40% via my work) albeit, for their SuperDisk & HOW TO APPLY IT, took them to a finalist position @ MS Tech Ed, two years in a row 2000-2002, in its HARDEST CATEGORY: SQLServer Performance Enhancement).

WINDOWS MAGAZINE, 1997, "Top Freeware & Shareware of the Year" issue page 210, #1/first entry in fact

PC-WELT FEB 1998 - page 84 my work is featured there

WINDOWS MAGAZINE, WINTER 1998 - page 92, insert section, MUST HAVE WARES, my work is there

PC-WELT FEB 1999 - page 83 my work is featured there

CHIP Magazine 7/99 - page 100, my work is there

GERMAN PC BOOK, Data Becker publisher "PC Aufrusten und Repairen" 2000 where my work is in it

HOT SHAREWARE Numero 46 issue, pg. 54 (PC ware mag from Spain), 2001 my work is there, first one featured, again!

It's also been myself helping out the folks at the UltraDefrag64 project (a 64-bit defragger for Windows), in showing them code for how to do Process Priority Control @ the GUI usermode/ring 3/rpl 3 level in their program (good one too), & being credited for it by their lead dev & his team... see here -> http://ultradefrag.sourceforge... or here http://sourceforge.net/tracker...

Which ended up fixing a "bug" for them later, here -> http://sourceforge.net/p/ultra... via its implementation (partially, NOT fully yet as I outline it & use in my applications such as this one -> http://www.start64.com/index.p...

APK

P.S.=> THEN there's this too:

APK Hosts File Engine 9.0++ SR-1 32/64-bit -> http://start64.com/index.php?o...

The BEST in the antiviruses (MalwareBytes) http://www.av-test.org/en/news... recommend & host it http://hosts-file.net/?s=Downl...

... apk

Funny you shut up after this http://yro.slashdot.org/commen... + you can't touch the REST of my points on hosts superiority http://yro.slashdot.org/commen... since you're unable to validly technically disprove them!

(Especially hosts superiority to AdBlock & Ghostery - both SOLD OUT to NOT do their jobs or advertiser owned foxes guarding a henhouse)

In that 1st link, I asked you if what I wrote did via HOSTS PORT FILTERING ABILITIES (server side, for the one being attacked) & YOU? Ran... lol! Why? It'd work, and you KNOW it.

APK

P.S.=> Better luck next time, you BIG TALKING CHUMP...

NO, you outright RAN (trying me on 1 new point I put up & the rest? You can't even SCRATCH them: Neither can "Almost ALL Ads Blocked" SOLD OUT INFERIOR CRAP that it is, lol!)

Now, as to what I quoted from you, big talker (all you DO is talk, creating zero of worth we can all benefit by as I have):

When you can actually produce something of worth in a program that yields more speed, security, & reliability + more as I have -> http://start64.com/index.php?o...

THEN, you can talk that way to me as a PEER, boy! Not until then...

Plus face it: MalwareBytes' hpHosts Admin (MalwareBytes employee) hosts & recommends it -> http://hosts-file.net/?s=Downl... & MalwareBytes = BEST antivirus http://www.av-test.org/en/news...

So, before you say "APK Doesn't know whatever"? YOU OUGHT TO DO BETTER & it's clear, you can't, fool...

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

1.) Protect vs. malicious sites/servers (beyond malicious ads: See 2-10 next)
2.) Protect vs. fastflux botnets + stop communication to C&C servers
3.) Protect vs. dynamic dns botnets + stop communication to C&C servers
4.) Protect vs. DGA botnets + stop communication to C&C servers
5.) Protect vs. downed DNS (adds 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 past a dnsbl
12.) Keep you off dns request logs
13.) Speed up websurfing by adblocks & hardcoded fav. sites
14.) Work on ANY webbound app (think stand-alone email programs) multiplatform.
15.) Give you easily texteditor controlled data for the above
16.) Do all that & block ads (better than addons) more efficiently in cpu cycles + memory usage

Hosts protect users (not servers) vs. DNS security issues & via hostnames lightening up DNS server request loads (which admins of them should like - double bonus considering hosts also shore up DNS security issues for end users the MOST, & also help out admins of those DNS servers - chock full of security issues) + even can protect users of hosts vs. rogue DNS servers too.

Those hosts hardcodes also give users more speed online resolving IP addresses locally which also yields better reliability (vs. DNS poisoned redirected DNS, a major security problem, since 99.999% of ISP DNS servers are *NOT* patched vs. the Kaminsky flaw).

4.) Protect vs. DGA botnets + stop communication to C&C servers
5.) Protect vs. downed DNS (adds reliability)
6.) Protect vs. DNS redirect poisoned dns
7.) Protect vs. DNS amplification attacks
8.) Protect vs. trackers
9.) Protect vs. spam
10.) Protect vs. phishing
11.) Protect vs. bandwidth caps
12.) Get you past a dnsbl
13.) Keep you off dns request logs
14.) Speed up websurfing by adblocks & hardcoded fav. sites
15.) Work on ANY webbound app (think stand-alone email programs) multiplatform.
16.) Give you easily texteditor controlled data for the above
17.) Do all that & block ads (better than addons) more efficiently in cpu cycles + memory usage

P.S.=> ANSWER ="NO" to each above on Ghostery/AdBlock doing it as well or at all!

BOTH do far less than hosts do & less efficiently - hosts by way of comparison, do MORE w/ less:

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/...

Ghostery's Advertiser owned - "A fox guards the henhouse"-> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G...

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

Hosts start w/ the IP stack before REDUNDANT inefficient addons BEGIN to operate (as 1st resolver queried).
