AdBlock/Ghostery = Inferior to hosts
They're also advertiser owned/bought out (& do less 4 you) - Hosts do more w/ less (1 file) @ a faster level (ring 0) vs redundant browser addons (slowing up slower ring 3 browsers) via filtering 4 the IP stack (coded in C & load w/ OS + 1st net request resolver queried w\ 45++ yrs.of optimization):

A.) Hosts do more than AdBlock ("souled-out" 2 Google/Crippled by default) + Ghostery (Advertiser owned) - "Foxes guard a henhouse", or Request Policy -> http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=4127345&cid=44701775
B.) Hosts add reliability vs. downed DNS & protect vs redirected DNS + secure vs. known malicious domains too -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3985079&cid=44310431 w/ less added "moving parts" complexity + room 4 breakdown,
C.) Hosts files yield more speed (blocks ads & hardcodes fav sites - faster than remote DNS), security (vs. malicious domains serving mal-content + block spam/phish), reliability (vs. downed DNS or vs. Kaminsky vulnerable DNS, 99% = unpatched vs. it & worst @ ISP level + weak vs FastFlux + DynDNS botnets), & anonymity (vs. dns request logs + DNSBL's).

Whose name's on this post?
Jeremiah Cornelius (when he forgot to submit ac) http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3581857&cid=43276741

APK
P.S.=> It's not spam since hosts block ads the most effiicient "less moving parts complexity" way vs. other methods (I only post about hosts when they apply and are on topic)!

What you can't touch? Can't hurt you... apk
See subject-line: Hosts work on that principle vs. it or other threats online in malware or malicious script served from a site (provided it has it in its blocklist) - so yes, it would on that basis vs. this even since it is a malware payload deliverable that does it typically in cases like this
* Thanks for bringing it up!

Not vs. "lobbyists"... apk
Hosts helps vs. what WE deal in (online threats) but not vs. "legal bribery"/lobbyists (the MAIN problem!) - which is their MAIN tool to gain not money but the TRUE GOAL: Power & Control!
"Puppet Politicians" (best money can REALLY buy) won't stop it as it makes them RICH via "the holy dollar" - Sociopath megalomaniacs 'crave' it like drug fiends due to qualities other humans innately possess that they lack!
(Yes.it's truly their "fix" & they aren't doing a GOOD JOB of it thinking they're smart enough to overturn lessons history yields since time immemorial in that it's easy to win a battle but not a war & occupations ALWAYS fail! That's a person's home not just a financial asset & they'll go to the ground for it (or 6 ft. under) for their families! The 'controllers' + their "I got mine" pattern of thought = short term stupid!).

* Good luck: You'll need it, as it's impossible to do!
(You know it, I know it, like anyone else reading w/ 1/2 a brain - TRUTH's that way & dusts trolls like YOU every time).
APK
P.S.=> In any event, "Back on Track" (our subject which you deviated from troll): When common-sense starts failing in folks, especially due to a 'virus of the spirit' called greed when MONEY BECOMES YOUR GOD? What's happening out there today is what you get - outright madness & lunacy + short-term thinking!

Dla cziego Apache nie robisz DNT?
See subject-line (jak sie masz/dzien dobre/czesc, Polak - ja jestem polak tesz):
Subject Line Translation (I haven't written polish in 40++ yrs. so pardon it IF it's grammatically "off", thanks) = "Why doesn't Apache honor the Do Not Track initiative?" (in case you don't read/write polish natively, assuming you ARE in fact, Polish as am I, that is).
Is it a conflict of WHOM you cater to? I.E.-> I understand MOST folks are online, especially with servers, to make money... ads money/tracking money, doubtless "talks" (they say 'talk is cheap', but not when "the Holy Dollar/Ca$h" does the talking).

P.S.=> Personally? I don't *mind* that you don't - why?? I wrote up a freeware that helps in that capacity (vs. trackers, spammers/phishers, adbanners (good & poisoned both since they're bandwidth robbers or poisoners of systems), sites/servers/hosts-domains known to serve up malicious content in many forms etc.) - Apache NOT doing DNT only helps apps like mine really (but imo, hurts you some):

2.) Block Known sites-servers/hosts-domains that are known to serve up malware (especially "fastflux" types, the predominant design that uses host-domain names vs. IP addresses (far easier to 'kill' in the latter is why)).
3.) Block bogus dns servers malware makers use (via fastflux + rogue dns servers).
4.) Block botnet C&C servers.
5.) Block adbanners that are full of malicious script content for security, & regular ones for more bandwidth.
6.) Block known phisher links embedded in email.
7.) Block trackers
8.) Block spammers.
9.) Get back bandwidth paid for by blocking out adbanners + hardcoding in your favorite sites (faster than remote dns resolution).
10.) Reliability (vs. downed or misdirect/poisoned DNS servers - since most are NOT patched vs. the Kaminsky flaw).
11.) "Anonymity" (to an extent, vs. DNS request logs).
12.) Ability to bypass DNSBL's
13.) More screen "real estate" (no adbanners appear onscreen eating up cpu, ram, & other forms of I/O too - bonus!).
14.) Universal Protection (even smartphones has a bsd ip stack).
15.) Faster more efficient operation vs. browser plugins ("layered on" over slower usermode browsers & are generally written in slower interpreted languages (e.g. AdBlock = python/perl/javascript) - hosts operates in kernelmode of operation (far faster) as a filter for the IP stack itself which is written in C & Asm (run directly @ Operating System start + IP stack making browser/usermode advertiser owned 'solutions' like requestpolicy redundant)).
