I don't think the edge case of someone having flash, but having it click-to-play, is big enough yet to try to tackle.

The click-to-play add-on I use reportedly has nearly a million users. And for some plug-ins, Firefox makes click-to-play the default.

Err so your eyes have been closed? Or you are saying crap on the internet without actually looking at all?

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

Can AdBlock do 15 things hosts can?

1.) Secure you vs. known malicious sites (beyond malicious adbanners)
2.) Secure you vs. downed DNS aiding reliability
3.) Secure you vs. DNS redirected dns servers
4.) Protect you vs. fastflux botnet attacks + stop their communications back to their C&C servers
5.) Protect you vs. dynamic dns botnet attacks + stop their communications back to their C&C servers
6.) Protect you vs. domain generation algorithm botnet attacks + stop their communications to their C&C servers
7.) Speed you up for websurfing by adblocking + hardcoding fav sites
8.) Get you past a dnsbl
9.) Keep you off dns request logs
10.) Do all that & block ads (better than adblock) more efficiently in cpu cycles + memory usage
11.) Work on ANY webbound application (think stand-alone email programs).
12.) Give you direct notepad/texteditor controlled data
13.) Block trackers
14.) Block spam mail
15.) Block phishing mail

(Answer's "NO" to each for AdBlock)

APK

P.S.=> Hosts yield more:

1.) Speed (adblock & hardcodes fav sites - faster than remote dns)
2.) Security (vs. malicious domains serving malcontent + block spam/phish & trackers)
3.) Reliability (vs. downed or redirect vulnerable dns, 99% = unpatched vs. it & worst @ isp level + weak vs DGA, & Fastflux + dynDNS botnets)

* Hosts do more w/ less @ faster levels (ring 0) vs redundant inefficient addons (slow ring 3 browsers) via filtering the IP stack (coded in C, loads w/ os, & 1st net resolver queried w\ 45++ yrs.of optimization).
* Addons = more complex + slow browsers in messagepassing + are nullified by native browser methods - It's how Clarityray's destroying Adblock.
* Addons slows usermode browsers layering on more - & bloat RAM + excessive cpu too (4++gb extra in FireFox https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth...)

Adblock doesn't do its job -> http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/... ... apk

Adblock IS sold-out, no questions asked, proof's right here http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/...

See subject above? Simply edit hosts: There's your whitelist (or rename hosts to deactivate it temporarily, & then rename it back if need be...).

Hosts do NOT eat up 4++ gb of RAM like Adblock does (or tear up CPU like mad too) -> https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth...

Ever heard of "run as" or rightclick run as admin? It's an option you know (or it's doable in shortcuts, easily) - you really show you're weak in computing there.

Self-hosted ads don't PAY, fool - you will rarely, IF EVER, see them because of that. Admen do NOT trust webmasters on click counts.

APK

P.S.=> You fail: Especially since hosts do TONS more than Adblock EVER could, & more efficiently by far, on MANY levels (kernelmode operations, not redundant like browser addons with their messagepassing overheads + huge RAM & CPU Usage proven above, AND hosts are queried 1st as the resolver long before redundant inefficient addons even start working)... apk

Adblock doesn't do its job -> http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/... ... apk

Hosts are easy to update fast & current via my work here http://start64.com/index.php?o...

Hosts can "whitelist" easily - don't put things you want BLOCKED INTO HOSTS (are you stupid?) & you can even speed up your favorite sites by entering them hardcoded @ the top of a hosts file for more speed (+ reliability vs. DNS poisoning).

Sold out, you say? Tell us about "Almost ALL Ads Blocked" selling out -> & then, tell us another one (what you are, clearly, is an imbecile). Nothing "POTENTIAL" about that, per this reputable source http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/... on that note (adblock selling out to NOT DO ITS JOB RIGHT).

Hosts are FASTER & MORE EFFICIENT (and work, unlike adblock, crippled by default & sold out like it is) by far since they're queried & in use LONG before browser addons are, or didn't THIS point that out to you also (lousy efficiency) https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth...

Poor linear lookup? Putting your fav sites hardcoded into hosts @ the top of them as I noted earlier above easily BLOWS ADBLOCK AWAY since hosts gets cached into RAM like any file does, dimwit! Rest of its entries are blocked, known as bad on many grounds (who cares how 'fast' you get to those - you never intended to reach them anyhow).

User specific? Are you THAT stupid?? Hosts operate GLOBALLY protecting globally as they ought to, offering more speed, security, reliability, & even anonymity (that adblock just CAN'T DO, or match, period).

Lastly/Again: Ads that are served from the SAME server as a site don't pay - admen don't trust webmaster viewcounts is why. You rarely, IF EVER, see those. They're not practical and neither is your other bullshit, lol!

APK

P.S.=> You fail again & totally, POINT BY POINT above... & of course, you also FAILED to disprove my points on things Adblock CAN NEVER, EVER DO (that hosts can) in a 15++:.5 ratio, here -> http://news.slashdot.org/comme... - ROTFLMAO! This was "too easy"... apk

Thanks for playing, see subject-line above, & this link (you fail) -> http://news.slashdot.org/comme...

* :)

(See that bolded part above? Truth's like that... lol!)

Additionally, once more:

Your "so-called 'points'" are TOTAL bullshit!

(As again, ads that pay aren't served from the same server (which is why you RARELY, if ever, see them that way) - admen don't trust webmaster's view/click counts).

APK

P.S.=> Adblock's SOLD-OUT to NOT do its job-> http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/...

AdBlock's being destroyed by ClarityRay (which can't affect hosts files) ->

AdBlock's also inefficient as hell vs. hosts (eating up 4++gb of RAM & tearing up CPU like mad, not to mention it runs in usermode slowness adding to messagepassing overheads in usermode browsers, slowing them up even more https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth... )

AdBlock's also REDUNDANT (hosts do the job way, Way, WAY BEFORE browser addons even start to run - and hosts are in kernelmode (faster/more cpu allowed) vs. usermode browsers + addons... hosts are queried LONG before addons work, period)... apk

W. Palant wrote me by email 1st saying "hosts are a shitty solution" to which I replied:

"Show us adblock can do more for added speed, security, reliability, & anonymity than hosts can, + that adblock does it more efficiently than hosts"

Which on my latter 'point-in-challenge' on efficiency AdBlock's proven by research to be MASSIVELY inefficient -> https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth... & adblock does FAR less than hosts (especially crippled by default).

I sent Wladimir Palant that challenge in response to his statement from 2 different email addresses I use!

Result = Still no answer from him in regard to my challenge put to him to this very day MONTHS later - that tell you anything? It did me!

He knows his addon is less efficient & features laden by FAR vs. hosts - Wladimir Palant RAN like a scared rabbit!

ClarityRay's also DESTROYING AdBlock - via native browser methods to DUMP what addons you use (it can't DO THAT to hosts files).

I only tell it how it is on hosts' superiority vs. AdBlock - Funny part is, Wladimir Palant running does too!

Especially considering "Almost ALL Ads Blocked" has 'souled-out' -> Google And Others Reportedly Pay Adblock Plus To Show You Ads Anyway: http://news.slashdot.org/comme...

P.S.=> Bottom-Line: Hosts = a superior solution that also fixes DNS redirect security issues (vs. browser addons & their inefficiencies + messagepassing overheads as well as myriad lack of abilities hosts have from 1 file that's part of the IP stack itself - faster, more efficient, & less redundant as well, since TCP/IP has 45++ yrs. of refinement & optimization in it, & runs in a higher CPU serviced ring of privelege & operations in kernelmode vs. slower usermode layering over browsers slowing them more, & hosts = 1st resolver queried by the OS itself also)... apk

Many of these exploits and xss-worms would not have been effective if people had implemented the suggestion I made more than a decade ago:
http://osdir.com/ml/mozilla.se...
http://osdir.com/ml/security.w...
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/P...

Plenty of people suggest libraries to sanitize stuff, but when people keep creating new "GO" buttons and never a single "STOP" button - how can you be sure you've disabled every possible "GO" button? With my proposal, a "STOP button" could even disable future yet to be invented "GO" buttons.

Anyway since the Mozilla bunch supposedly have a better idea, how about getting on with it: https://developer.mozilla.org/...

What I do is use the UAControl addon for Firefox, which lets you specify a browser User Agent string on a per-site basis. This lets me tell Google that I'm actually using an old, outdated version on Firefox, and tada, Google always gives me the older, "simpler" version of their search results, which I find much much easier to use.

Nice and simple, the way it used to be.

Can adblock do 15 things hosts files can for more speed, security, reliability, & more:

1.) Secure you vs. known malicious sites/servers (beyond malicious adbanners - see 2 thru 6 below next)
2.) Secure you vs. downed DNS servers aiding reliability
3.) Secure you vs. DNS redirect poisoned dns servers
4.) Protect you vs. fastflux using botnet attacks and stop their communications back to their C&C servers
5.) Protect you vs. dynamic dns using botnet attacks and stop their communications back to their C&C servers
6.) Protect you vs. domain generation algorithm using botnet attacks and stop their communications back to their C&C servers
7.) Speed you up for websurfing not only by adblocking but also hardcoding favorite sites
8.) Get you past a dnsbl you may not agree with
9.) Keep you off dns request logs
10.) Do all of those things and block ads (better than adblock) more efficiently in cpu cycles and memory usage
11.) Work on ANY webbound application (think stand-alone email programs, for example).
12.) Give you direct, easily notepad/texteditor controlled data for all of the above

A.) Hosts do more than:

1.) AdBlock ("souled-out" 2 Google/Crippled by default http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/... )
2.) Ghostery (Advertiser owned) - "Fox guards henhouse" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G...
3.) Request Policy -> http://yro.slashdot.org/commen...

B.) Hosts add reliability vs. downed/redirected dns (& overcome site redirects e.g. /. beta).

C.) Hosts secure vs. malicious domains too -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... w/ less "moving parts" complexity

D.) Hosts files yield more:

1.) Speed (adblock & hardcodes fav sites - faster than remote dns)
2.) Security (vs. malicious domains serving malcontent + block spam/phish & trackers)
3.) Reliability (vs. downed or Kaminsky redirect vulnerable dns, 99% = unpatched vs. it & worst @ isp level + weak vs DGA, & Fastflux + dynDNS botnets)
4.) Anonymity (vs. dns request logs + dnsbl's).

---

* Hosts do more w/ less (1 file) @ faster levels (ring 0) vs redundant inefficient addons (slowing slower ring 3 browsers) via filtering 4 the IP stack (coded in C, loads w/ os, & 1st net resolver queried w\ 45++ yrs.of optimization).
* Addons = more complex + slow browsers in messagepassing (use a few concurrently & see) & are nullified by native browser methods - It's how Clarityray's destroying Adblock.
* Addons slowup slower usermode browsers layering on more - & bloat RAM consumption + excessive cpu use too (4++gb extra in FireFox https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth...)

Instead, work w/ a more capable native kernelmode part you already have - hosts (An integrated part of the ip stack)
