Which Is Better, Adblock Or Adblock Plus?
An anonymous reader writes: Wladimir Palant is the creator of the Adblock Plus browser extension, but he often gets asked how it compares to a similar extension for Chrome called Adblock. In the past, he's told people the two extensions achieve largely the same end, but in slightly different ways. However, recent changes to the Adblock project have him worried. "AdBlock covertly moved from an open development model towards hiding changes from its users. Users were neither informed about that decision nor the reasons behind it." He goes through the changelog and highlights some updates that call into question the integrity of Adblock. For example, from an update on June 6th: "Calling home functionality has been extended. It now sends user's locale in addition to the unique user ID, AdBlock version, operating system and whether Google Search ads are being allowed. Also, AdBlock will tell getadblock.com (or any other website if asked nicely) whether AdBlock has just been installed or has been used for a while — again, in addition to the unique user ID." Of course, Palant has skin in this game, and Adblock Plus has dealt with fallout from their "acceptable ads policy," but at least it's still developed in the open.
Adblock Edge
If my customer has Firefox installed, I use Adblock Plus with it. That is also what I have on my own systems.
If they have Chrome instead, I use Adblock. I don't use Chrome, because I don't like its style, but several customers prefer it.
If you think I voted for Trump because of this post, you're wrong. I voted for Dr. Jill Stein of the Green Party. Again.
Works for me - I gave up on the other two
If the ads on a site are so obstructive or malicious that you want to block them then stop using that site. Blocking ads only encourages site operators to use more aggressive ad serving tactics and resorting to that kind of subsidized assault on the user is usually an indicator that the site doesn't have anything useful on it in the first place.
Dear aunt, let's set so double the killer delete select all
The real question is: If you value privacy and dislike ads, why would you ever use Chrome?
The entire goal of that browser is counter to user Privacy and choice. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, if you don't care about that stuff then I'd same Chrome is probably the best browser out there. But I do value those things, and in fact they are probably my #1 consideration when choosing a browser so I use Firefox despite its many faults.
Still? Amongst the folks I work with, Chrome is dead. Listing uTorrent as malware was the straw that broke the camel's back. So, Adblock Plus FTW!

AB [ad block]
ABE [ad block edge]
those are fine and dandy, but when I switched back to opera recently I discovered
HTTPSB [http switchboard]
it has more control but still lacks in some areas, definitely worth checking out if you use noscript+adblock
This is a donation driven project written by a single developer. Why would he do this? What benefits would come from collecting personal information and hiding it from users?
Just use the hosts file provided by Dan Pollock -> http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/hosts
You think one person can't sell data to a mining company?
You'd not only rightly reject Google Chrome you'd also reject choice as a reason to favor nonfree software. Chrome is a nonfree browser so that is right out. A choice of nonfree programs doesn't satisfy what computer users need—software freedom. Choice is easily satisfied in that there's more than one alternative but choice of software says nothing about how well the alternatives address important needs to control one's computer (rather than letting the software control the users). So choice of software is a weak substitute for the freedoms to run, inspect, share, and modify software.
Digital Citizen
I don't use Adblock, but I've been using this for years. I rarely see an ad unless it's served directly from the site I'm visiting, and it blocks a lot of malware as well. It has something like 16,000 entries, but doesn't seem to slow things down at all.
Part of the terms of the deal is they can not disclose the that they have new owners, who the new owners are, or any affiliations they have to the new owner, etc? But yes its now a spying tool and should not be trusted.
I have added question marks for legal protection.
... FIGHT!
I consider the default deny blocking of RequestPolicy essential.
I'm behind Ad Limiter, which limits Google search ads to one per page, picking the best one based on SiteTruth ratings. You can set it for zero search ads if you like. It also puts SiteTruth ratings on Google search results. It's a demo for SiteTruth search spam filtering.
This Mozilla/Chrome add on has a general ad-blocking mechanism inside. Unlike most ad blockers, it's not based on regular expressions looking for specific HTML. It finds URLs known to lead to ads, works outward through the DOM to find the ad boundary, then deletes the ad. So it's relatively insensitive to changes in ad code, and doesn't require much maintenance. The same code processes search results from Google, Bing, Yahoo, Bleeko, DuckDuckGo, and Infoseek. (Coming soon, Yandex support, and better handling of Google ads within ads, where an ad has multiple links.)
So, if I wanted to do a better ad blocker, I could do so easily. Should I? Is another one really needed? Are the headaches of running one worth it?
If Android has demonstrated one thing about FOSS it is that users do not care. It went from being almost wholly open to then having its core applications closed and now its new features components closed (google play services) and nobody cares.
You can spout this "doesn't satisfy what computer users need" rubbish all you want but the fact is it is demonstrably false. Users didnt get anything substantial out of it being wholly open and they havent lost anything by much of it being closed and the reason is because you FOSS folks sit around complaining and pontificating but when an opportunity to showcase the advantages of FOSS presents itself you do nothing. Stop trying to tell us how great FOSS is and actually show us, you have had ample opportunity to produce a great desktop, laptop, tablet, smartphone, settop box, etc ... and everytime it is some half-assed, unfinished, also-ran, me-too attempt to copy the proprietary products. I like the philosophy and I would be happy to see it succeed if those advocates were capable of it but the truth is it doesn't seem to work in any practical sense.
/etc/hosts
Install once, update if you care to, but it's not essential. Requires no configuration after installation, works for ALL browsers on your system with no setup, does not require the browser to "support" it in any way (i.e., extensions), never ever gets broken by browser updates, works on ancient computers with grossly out-of-date browsers. Works with ANY tcp/ip-based app on your system, really, so it lowers vectors for IM apps, Acrobat, etc.
The first computer I used it on was an 800 MHz G3 iBook with 640 MB RAM. Some people may say a large hosts file will slow down your computer, but I've never seen that happen myself in over a decade of using it on literally every computer I have.
It may not block EVERY ad like a dedicated extension does, but it comes really really close, and I like the fact that it works with all browsers and never requires updating. When I get a new computer, I put the hosts file on and pretty much never touch it again. A handful of sites (like hulu) will not work with an adblocker and it's a manual process to edit the file, but for unix types, that's not a problem. It blocks google's sponsored links so you may need to take that out too, for people who google "sears" and click the first (sponsored) link instead of the first actual link.
No reason not to do security in layers and use it WITH adblocking extensions, I suppose, but I've never felt the need to.
Dear Slashdot: next time you want to mess with the site, add a rich-text editor for comments.
Seriously, deprive sites of revenue, how dare you!
I'd much appreciate a way for these stupid ad-blocking apps to be more consequence driven rather than evil-driven.
eg, "this ad was blocked due to the following rule: (DANGER) spawns popups,plays video" rather than deleting the html from the DOM and then having the user not realize why part of a website doesn't work because the site put their core content under a class called "pad" which is tripped because of "ad" in it.
I wanted to throw point out Privacy Badger: https://www.eff.org/privacybad... Paid ads support many development teams, which creates/improves websites with better content It's not the ads so much, it's the tracking that I can do with out
Unfortunately, I cannot use Adblock Edge even though I like to, since I use Chrome. The Adblock Edge developer has shown no interest in making a Chrome version available.
And, yes, please don't tell me I need to be using Firefox - there are plenty of reasons why Chrome is preferable.
Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem.
I recently disabled AdBlock Plus --- after just using it for years unthinkingly --- and found my browser memory dropped by a third. Using Icecat ( = Firefox 24, because Firefox just sucks like a minimalistic Chrome twin now ), but also tested on my Firefox installation.
AdvertBan and Ghostery seem to do the same, without sucking RAM.
Proxomitron was WAY ahead of its' time. It is still installed and running wonderfully on a couple of my systems. If you simply *must* have something which is more recently actively developed then Proximodo may be more up your alley. It is fully compatible with all Proximodo filters, etc. but is lacking SSL support...
Who cold war Tech is this???
But there is a strong misconception that android is still FOSS. The phrase that comes to mind is the rug has been pulled from under them. I was surprised to learn to what lengths google has gone to lock down android. It was certainly a huge reason as to why a lot of the tech sector was pushing android in the early days (nothing gets the tech sector weaker in the knees than FOSS). While you are right, that users don't care, google has performed a massive bait and switch.
But there is a strong misconception that android is still FOSS. The phrase that comes to mind is the rug has been pulled from under them.
But that is exactly the point: did they notice? No. Google play services has been around for a couple of years now and for all the "evil" and "stealing of freedom" of proprietary software the end result is nothing, it has just been FOSS FUD. Were any great innovations born of free software trampled by this act? Nope.
I would like to send Wladimir Palant and the entire Adblock team a well deserved thank you for making the Internet a better place.

1. To prevent junkware prompts during the initial install, download the installer from oracle instead of java.com, because the oracle installer does not have the junkware prompt:
http://www.oracle.com/technetw...
(searching for "java oracle download" will get you there)
2. To prevent junkware prompts during the updates, disable Java Sponsors.
A java.com FAQ claims that in 7u65 or later, you can find a "Suppress sponsor offers when updating Java" option in the Java Control Panel's Advanced tab, but I have never seen it there, possibly because I have issued the regkey fix. To do that, save the following text to a file titled "disable-java-sponsers.reg" and double-click the file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft]
"SPONSORS"="DISABLE"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft]
"SPONSORS"="DISABLE"
The answer of "Don't install Java at all, problem solved" is great and I wholeheartedly recommend it for those who don't need to run it, but there are many who have no choice and must run it for work, banking, Minecraft, etc. Using the regkey fix is great to prevent clueless family (grandparents!) and friends who need to run Java from accidentally installing the junkware.
Wow. I don't know how you could have posted that soapbox diatribe with your head so firmly lodged in your own ass.
The TSA has been around for a while, too. People don't seem to care about privacy, fundamental liberties, or software freedom. Does that make those things bad or unimportant? No. It just means that people are ignorant.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
It never ceases to amaze me how, even after the Snowden leaks (which revealed the obvious, but in greater detail), people still don't understand the importance of FOSS. If anyone's question is, "What does that have to do with intercepting communications?", you're simply ignorant of the fact that exploits can more easily be hidden in proprietary code, and you are beholden to a specific source to modify the code.
Why use Adblock when a hosts file works across the whole system? Honestly, never understood Adblock.
I'm not anti-social, I'm anti-idiot.
Adblock Plus is better than Adblock. It's because of the Plus.
I say this as a person who uses neither, is not qualified to comment, and doesn't know what the difference is! So how can I say that Adblock Plus is superior?
Conditioning. Consumer conditioning has imparted to me that Plus is superior, always. Also, SE (Special Edition), Extended, Premium, LE (Limited Edition), GT (Grand Touring), European (just go with it...), natural, organic, vegetarian (although vegan snorts in derision at mere vegetarian), soy-free, soy-based, nut free, olive oil containing, hand made, artisinal, imported, domestic, and a thousand others I can't remember at the moment.
I'm a well-trained consumer in a consumer society. I derive my sense of individuality by corporate branding and consumption habits!

I used to use firefox, but when they fired an executive for an ancient political contribution, I decided I couldn't use a browser made by that company. So now I use Chrome.
For the record, I don't even agree with the executive's cause that he contributed to. But firing an executive for making a political contribution is dangerous ground, so I can't support that.

Seems to work the fine for me. As has been said, the host file modification from the winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm site blocks 99% of ads as far as I can tell. Privacy badger is a nice little extension that checks for browser tracking.
for slashdot. all the other sites I use aren't fucking obnoxious with their ads.
Due to the questionable new owners of ABP, I've since changed to Edge.
Basically, the moment people tell you that there's such a thing as "acceptable advertisement" and that anyone except you, yourself can decide which it is, you know they've sold out. It's shorthand for "we will allow advertisement that pays us to let it through".
Assorted stuff I do sometimes: Lemuria.org
Straw men are flammable; yours needs a match.
Of course, sleazier sites are even worse. The likes of The Pirate Bay (much loved & defended by /. users) don't give a damn who they sell ads to or what payload the "ad" consists of. It's not uncommon to load it up and the page begins to initiate a download of malware or festoon the page with porn and popups for moneymaking scams. So not only does Adblock strip out all the shit from the page, but it plays an active role as a first line of defence against scummy exploits and malware.

Are you aware of Cyanogen? Did you know that you can buy high end phones with Cyanogen as the default OS? Cyanogen is built from AOSP and is fully free. It also supports extensive ad-blocking and app permission control, way beyond what any other mobile OS offers.
In what way exactly is Android not free? You can build and run it perfectly well without the Google apps, as Cyanogen and many others do. The resulting OS is fully featured and compatible, and can be distributed commercial without permission from Google.

A story to interest you (regards AdBlock & Wladimir Palant its creator): He wrote me by email, 1st mind you, stating "hosts are a shitty solution" to which I replied this:
"Show us that adblock can do more for added speed, security, reliability, & anonymity than hosts files can, + that adblock does it more efficiently than hosts do"
Which on my latter 'point-in-challenge' on efficiency he was proven in research by others to be MASSIVELY inefficient -> https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth... & Palant can't show adblock does more (especially crippled by default as it is, 'souled-out' to GOOGLE no less).
Additionally - I sent Wladimir Palant that challenge in response to his statement, & from 2 different email addresses I keep no less!
Result? This:
Still no answer from him to myself 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 far inferior to hosts and certainly less efficient by far also) - Wladimir Palant RAN like a scared rabbitt...
I only tell it how it is on hosts' superiority vs. AdBlock & any browser addon (or combo of them, from a SINGLE FILE you already natively possess no less - vs. "bolting on" more redundant & inefficient complexity + room for failure/breakdown) - funniest part is, Wladimir Palant (& his running) does as well!

Did you know that you can buy high end phones with Cyanogen as the default OS?
I didn't. Which phones? I've never been able to get a decent experience from cyanogen on a phone (My Nook color and tablet are a different matter) because the lack of the little "optimizations" individual to the phone models usually ends up breaking something like voicemail, battery life, or actually detecting a cell signal.

All you got is illogical off topic effete useless ad hominem attacks vs. fact apk put out http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... and apk putting up a free tool that does more than any single browser addon that also fixes dns security issues and also adding more speed, security, reliability, and anonymity than any addons do isn't spam: It's useful fact from a superior and yet simpler more efficient and versatile solution, vs. bolting on more complexity and room for breakdown failure in redundantly and inefficiently doing as addons do in a slower mode of operation with horrible memory, cpu, and message passing overhead abuse. You only proves apk right yet again all the more so. He should thank you for your blatantly transparent stupidity, troll. Now that apk burnt out your modpoints for downmodding many of his posts throughout this entire article (he simply reposted them so you can't hide them, outfoxing your weak "modus operandi") as you obviously did and you're out of 'bullets' now? You fail. Apk proves adblocks inferiority vs. hosts as well as the fact clarityray is destroying adblock but can't affect hosts files too? You show your true colors (transparent). This was also a very interesting story of how Wladimir Palant ran from apk's challenge to him numerous times as well http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... proving your "hero" Palant, is also blatantly inferior to apk on a programmatic design and efficacy + efficiency front as well. You lose/fail. So does Almost all ads blocked (sold out to Google and crippled by default too), to apk. You can't even touch apk's points of fact validly technically disproving them: Triple fail (Mr. Palant, and yes, I suspect it's you doing all of that and failing again to apk). Truth and a useful free tool is not spam. It's fact. Superior fact.

Hosts also do far more, more efficiently than addons and also fix dns security issues http://tech.slashdot.org/comme...
Adblock = inferior on many levels in added speed, security, reliability, anonymity + efficiency vs. hosts http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... hosts files are the original, far more versatile, and ubiquitous superior method, by far.
Oh, I missed you, mad, lunatic, woman assaulting, inhumane and SOB APK :')
A.) Hosts do more than:
1.) AdBlock ("souled-out" 2 Google/Crippled by default)
2.) Ghostery (Advertiser owned) - "Fox guards henhouse"
3.) Request Policy -> http://yro.slashdot.org/commen...
I read through the thread on RequestPolicy, and you were pretty thick when it came to recognizing some key points:
1) RequestPolicy blocks all external sites by default, which means you don't need a "bad" list that needs to be constantly maintained, so it's actually the simpler and more effective solution.
2) The reason to block YouTube from 3rd party sites is to avoid tracking by Google (they own YouTube). With RequestPolicy, I can still watch YouTube videos and avoid the tracking. But that's just one example. RequestPolicy blocks all such requests, so I don't have to worry about YouTube, Amazon, or any other site that probably isn't in the "bad" list from getting tracking info from 3rd party sites by doing something as simple as embedding a link.
3) You mention speed, but give no hard numbers. If, for example, RequestPolicy does its job in less than 1ms, then it doesn't matter if a hosts file is twice as fast or even ten times as fast, because either way the difference is imperceptible. I don't have any speed problems using RequstPolicy, at all.
I'll throw in another point: RequestPolicy is open source, meaning I don't have to trust a binary from "apk" being run as an admin to manage my hosts file. RequestPolicy is also cross-platform.
You can have the last word, as engaging in discussion with you is pointlessly annoying. I'm just leaving this response so that people who are rational can make an informed judgment.
Hosts files compliment DNS & use less of the above per my subject-line, overcoming dns security issues (Kaminsky flaw redirect bug that 99.999% of ISPs are UNPATCHED against, even though a patch has been out for ~ decade++ (not usually applied due to MX records problems, iirc)).
APK
P.S.=> Doing more with less = GOOD engineering - using custom hosts files exemplifies the concept, turning it into a more versatile & ubiquitous reality + solution!
(Especially via a solution that actually compliments DNS, in hosts http://tech.slashdot.org/comme...)
I.E.-> I use Open DNS as an external DNS server here (thus less power consumption & moving parts complexity + room for breakdown/failure OR redirect poisoning attacks security vulnerability issues dns has - fact...)
OpenDNS + hosts = superior on those grounds alone!
Mainly, since OpenDNS uses DNSSEC between themselves & their upstream updating servers & they ARE PATCHED vs. the Kaminsky redirect poisoning flaw also!
Thus - I am TRULY getting the "best of all possible worlds" ditching redundant inferior addons & also vs. using a local DNS server - which especially on a separate machine, eats MORE POWER, driving up electricity bills!
(Addons are multiple levels of technical inferior, as shown here http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... by "yours truly" via a programmatic creation of mine that allows ALL of what I extoll there, point-by-point, in superiority by FAR yet doing it with less (1 file only, native part of the kernelmode faster IP stack vs. slower usermode "solutions" that worsen performance ala addons) - complimenting & securing DNS even!)
Enjoy... apk
It's also pure fact true hosts do far more with less than addons do + more efficiently http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... (specifically "almost all ads blocked")...

P.S.=> ClarityRay is also DESTROYING adblock (crippled by default as it is, 'souled-out' to Google) by using native browser methods to DUMP what addons you use to detect & block it (can't do THAT to a custom hosts file) & adblock is HORRIBLY inefficient on memory, cpu usage, + messagepassing overheads also vs. hosts - addons are also needlessly redundant as well as inferior by way of comparison to hosts files - period... apk
Use hosts w/ external DNS (fixing dns security & reliability flaws via hardcodes fav sites @ TOP of hosts (24 as I do it currently)).
That = 2-3++ MILLION index seeks in kernelmode diskcaching subsystem @ SPEED OF RAM (vs. faulty w/ large hosts files slower usemode dns clientside cache service in Windows - I disable it + save CPU, ram, & other forms of I/O wasted on it too - double bonus)!
E.G.-> I only go to roughly 24 sites online 95++% of the time & use news aggregators like /. to get stories distilled increasing that percentage, & w/ BETTER less biased views on said stories (stopping me from "hopping all over" on the remaining sub 4% of the time when & IF I have to do hop @ all because of this methodology).
The rest of what's in my hosts file?
BLOCKED KNOWN & DANGEROUS SITES!
(Ones that exploit users via malicious script/executables)
So who CARES how "fast" I get to those - I never intended to get to them @ all in the 1st place since they are blocked threats!
* NOBODY "surfs the entire web" so why on earth would you *think* folks use hosts to resolve every site under the sun (or did I misread you?) - they have 'favorite tv channels' just like on television!
That's how I use hosts combined w/ DNS!
APK
P.S.=> DNS has Kaminsky redirect flaws of which 99% of ISP dns' are UNPATCHED & a patch existed for ~ decade++ (not implemented due to MX records difficulties in setup) - OpenDNS = patched vs. it & uses DNSSEC between it + its upstream updaters - combining them w/ hosts secures vs. "downed" dns servers too (they go down a LOT) & makes surfing faster since resolution of host-domain names occurs locally in RAM + 1st by default in the IP stack + less moving parts complexity & room for breakdown using less resources (electricity too, especially if setup as a separate machine) - DNS admins should lastly love me for "lightening their request loads" thus, using hosts... apk
In the past, in this article on every front: All you've got is bogus downmods n' ad hominem attacks? You fail repeatedly. Some say that repeating the same mistake over and over expecting different results would make you, insane, as well as stupid.
Wladimir Palant of AdBlock should be ashamed trying to downmod hide apk's points here http://tech.slashdot.org/comme...
Request policy doesn't do a fraction of what hosts can for more speed, security, reliability, anonymity. The resource intensive inferior easily detected for browser addon model (how clarityray is destroying adblock by detecting what browser addons are used and blocking them) with messagepassing overheads is dead by comparison to hosts files.
Downmod apk's truth to hide it (Palant running from him) said it all http://tech.slashdot.org/comme...
With Wladimir Palant of AdBlock when all they have's downmods to try hide this http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... and apparently the morons don't realize readers here surf well below the default +1 moderation threshold since we know how morons like advertisers work using multiple sock puppet accounts for farming karma to attempt to block truth that adversely affects their ability to further their own inferior agenda with facts as apk does.
Except not. You're using a browser which openly admits to tracking your behavior. If you're okay with one, it seems a bit odd to be ad odds with the other. I don't begrudge anyone their choice of revenue stream, just seems hypocritical.
Using downmods but not disproving apk. That says it all: Wladimir Palant of adblock ran from apk's multiple points http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... and so do you fools trying to vainly and effetely hide apk's true story of confronting Mr. Palant only to make him run like a scared rabbit. Downmods don't hide it from slashdot users either: We all browse at well below the default -1 moderation threshold since we all know what sock puppeteering advertisers and trolls do farming karma from fake accounts they setup to downmod their opponents like apk they cannot validly technically disprove on points they present as apk has. Apk wins yet again as usual, simply using facts and truth.
Let's see, Windows 7 UAC was taken directly from Unix/Linux, heartbleed happened because so much of the web was using it. The most popular stacks on the web are open, Yosemite is pretty clearly inspired by Gnome 3, Ubuntu and Red Hat seem to be doing fine with the desktop, with as much market penetration as OSX. You've got absurd amounts of stable Linux OSes that work with minimal setup OOTB. I use a 'nix distro as my daily driver and could easily see non-techies doing the same and not really noticing much of a difference. Android only succeeded because it started open which made it easy to give away for free, and then perform the bait and switch that they did. I don't knock proprietary companies but I feel it's a bit disingenuous to say that a gnu/linux desktop/laptop isn't available, you have companies that *only* sell linux hardware and do fine.
Using downmods n' not validly disproving apk. It says it all: Wladimir Palant of adblock ran from apk's multiple points http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... and so do you fools trying to vainly and effetely hide apk's with unjustified minusmods vs. apk's true story of confronting Mr. Palant only to make him run like a scared rabbit.

I've used ABP in Firefox and Chromium for years and never once has that happened. The filtering rules are a bit more sophisticated than you presume. Regardless, your suggestion defeats the secondary purpose of ad blockers - restoring natural flow to pages that would otherwise be chopped to bits by unnecessary content.
Great! Are you running 3 VMs now so as not to waste that extra memory?
Mr. Strawman illogical ad hominem offtopic troll: Fact you can't validly disprove != spam. It's useful fact you fail against.
The OnePlus One is the highest spec one, and insanely cheap too. At the moment it is on limited release though, so might be a few months before you can get one. You can of course buy a Nexus 5 an enjoy full Cyanogen support too.

"Show us that adblock can do more for added speed, security, reliability, & anonymity than hosts files can, + that adblock does it more efficiently than hosts do"
I did so from 2 different email addresses I keep no less - still no answer from him to myself in regard to my challenge put to him for his "big words" (tell you anything? Did me - he FAILS & that, IS that - period)... He RAN, like a scared rabbit!... apk

Had a Nexus 5 for about a week. Couldn't stand it. I'll keep an eye out for the OnePlus One, and keep my old Evo 4G alive until then. Thanks :)
"But that is exactly the point: did they notice? No. Google play services has been around for a couple of years now and for all the "evil" and "stealing of freedom" of proprietary software the end result is nothing"
What does it matter if they noticed? Unless you have some sort of actual point, you can't really accuse me of using straw men.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
Noticed rotten downmods you're getting. That's the best trolls got instead of proving you wrong. They fail.

Just running an ad blocker does little-to-nothing to mitigate [most] real threats, just annoyances. Using a script blocker that utilizes a whitelist policy vs. a blacklist policy gives better blanket protection from adverts AND serious script-based threats. If you're using both script-blocker and ad-blocker, the latter is simply redundant.
Now you just need to implement a sane whitelist-only cookie policy and you wont be completely part of the the 'oh-please-track-and-datamine-and-inject-me-with-virii' demographic epidemic. Fools are the biggest virological vectors in the age of ubiquitous connectivity.

The TSA has been around for a while, too. People don't seem to care about privacy, fundamental liberties, or software freedom. Does that make those things bad or unimportant? No. It just means that people are ignorant.
False equivalency. You don't choose whether you want to deal with the TSA when you fly, if you did then people would not choose it. However you can choose between proprietary and free software and overwhelmingly people choose proprietary because that is where the innovation is, because free software is almost always a poor clone of proprietary software, not ahead of the curve, not innovative, just an also-ran me-too product.
So nice strawman but frankly if that's your best rebuttal then I see why FOSS is in the poor state it is, even its apologists cant get their act together.
False equivalency.
Straw man, right off the bat. I was using his own logic against him (That people don't care, so it doesn't matter.) to show how ridiculous it is. That you have a problem with my example shows, I think, that you agree such logic is ridiculous.
Never once did I say that the TSA and choosing proprietary software are 100% similar. So that's your straw man, not mine. Learn what an analogy actually is and then come back to me.
and overwhelmingly people choose proprietary because that is where the innovation is
People choose proprietary software because our government is bought and paid for by corporations to such a degree that proprietary software is used everywhere in schools with little to no mentions of alternatives, and then classes are created that teach people via rote learning how to use specific proprietary software. What happens? People get used to the proprietary operating systems and software, and free software is therefore at a disadvantage.
The educational system is one place where free software should be mandated, and created, if necessary.
because free software is almost always a poor clone of proprietary software, not ahead of the curve, not innovative, just an also-ran me-too product.
Nonsense.
But even if that were true, free software is about morality. There are many things that would benefit me that would nonetheless be completely immoral, much like some proprietary software. The idea that I can't look at or modify the source code, and I'm beholden to some specific source that may be malicious (i.e. working with the government to violate people's privacy, as Snowden has shown), is immoral.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
Also, you're incorrect about the TSA. Most people are either apathetic about it or support *some* security there, even if it violates people's rights and the constitution.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.

In more modern versions of Windows reboot's not needed. Changes to %WinDir%\system32\drivers\etc hosts file alone signal to the OS to reload hosts (so does Windows File Protection, which you need admin rights in the case of overwriting & refreshing hosts as well).
Additionally this program of mine ( APK Hosts File Engine 9.0++ 32/64-bit) uses that source of yours (mvps) + 11 other reputable ones from the security community itself (such as MalwareBytes' hpHosts who recommend my program as "best of breed" @ the TOP of their pages and they host my ware for me also -> http://hosts-file.net/?s=Downl... )
A detailed list of all the benefits it provides through easy to use hosts creation & installation are here (as well as another alternate download site) -> http://start64.com/index.php?o...
* By the way - they can handle doing what you noted, they just want to sound like idiots so they make it sound "too hard to use" to less informed others unaware of hosts files many benefits is all... so do NOT let their crap "fool you".

P.S.=> Enjoy the program should you elect to use it... it works, better + does more for added speed, security, reliability & anonymith than any other of its kind out there (bar none)... apk

"I use a custom /etc/hosts to block ads... my file gets parsed basically instantly ... So basically, for any modern computer, it has zero visible impact.

I have noticed NO ill effects from running a custom /etc/hosts file for the last several years. And as a matter of fact I DO run http servers on my computers and I've never had an /etc/hosts-related problem... it FUCKING WORKS and makes my life better overall." - by sootman (158191) on Monday July 13 2009, @11:47AM (#28677363)

"I can't claim to have read all of this latest 'oh no, another hosts file screed' because I skimmed portions, I got some seemingly solid info out of it (ditto for some of the earlier ones I've read in whole or part.) Funny thing is, for all the excruciating length of it (yet not much compared to all the reading that I end up doing most days) I came away today thinking it may have been time well spent - it's prompted me to finally get around to 'installing' a hosts file list, not sure which one, likely the one from someonewhocares.org. If it works as well as what I used for a while about ten years ago, I'll be happy. And grateful to APK for the lesson and the reminder." - by kermidge (2221646) on Wednesday March 27, @01:03AM (#43288415)

"From what I've seen, hosts files are primarily promoted by APK trolling slashdot" - by Anonymous Coward on Thursday July 31, 2014 @02:00AM (#47572349)
"EAT YOUR WORDS", & "Argue with the numbers" - which're in MY FAVOR, vs. you, troll!
Script kiddies here like you *tried* to do BETTER (vs. my program) & FAILED + I showed them how they messed up on the data? Ask "& ye shall receive"... apk
Hosts came long before "almost all ads blocked" & does more, more efficiently http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... & hosts are not only multibrowser, but also multiplatform and cover everything, system-wide, NOT just webbrowsers!
* :)
(Additionally, unlike AdBlock OR other inefficient, redundant memory/cpu/other forms of I-O hogging messagepassing overheads slower usermode layering over browsers slowing them more addons? Native browser methods CAN'T dump + detect what addons you use when you use a custom hosts file (which operates in a higher cpu priveleged faster layer of operations in kernelmode as part of the IP stack itself) - THAT is how ClarityRay is DESTROYING AdBlock mind you... & THAT can't be DONE to hosts - period!)
Rule-of-Thumb FACT for the day is this:
Hosts = Superior (on all fronts), & AdBlock (& other browser addons too) = INFERIOR & massively so... no questions asked.
APK
P.S.=> Best, 100% free, & EASIEST way to create a super-efficient hosts file from 12 sources in the security community? Look no further than a creation by "yours truly", gratis-> http://start64.com/index.php?o... - Enjoy!

Searched for APK here. I got 92 hits. APK is back! He's off his MEDS!
Hosts = best - My program for hosts file construction adds security, speed, reliability, + anonymity & does more, more efficiently by FAR vs. addons + fixes DNS' security issues:
APK Hosts File Engine 9.0++ 32/64-bit:
http://start64.com/index.php?o...
(Details of benefits in link)
Summary:
---
A.) Hosts do more than:
1.) AdBlock ("souled-out" 2 Google/Crippled by default)
2.) Ghostery (Advertiser owned) - "Fox guards henhouse"
3.) Request Policy -> http://yro.slashdot.org/commen...
B.) Hosts add reliability vs. downed/redirected dns (& overcome redirects on sites, /. beta as an example).
C.) Hosts secure vs. malicious domains too -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... w/ less added "moving parts" complexity/room 4 breakdown,
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 Fastflux + dynamic dns 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 message passing (use a few concurrently & see) & are nullified by native browser methods - It's how Clarityray is destroying Adblock.
* Addons slowup slower usermode browsers layering on more - & bloat RAM consumption too + hugely excessive cpu use (4++gb extra in FireFox https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth...)
Work w/ a native kernelmode part - hosts files (An integrated part of the ip stack)
APK
P.S.=> "The premise is quite simple: Take something designed by nature & reprogram it to make it work for the body rather than against it..." - Dr. Alice Krippen: "I am legend"
...apk
They can't be detected+blocked by native browser methods (ClarityRay's destroying adblock thus) & they are more versatile, by far, than browser addons minus their memory/cpu/other forms of I-O & messagepassing overheads... by FAR!
In fact, on that very note?
Well - Take a detailed summary read here, for more on their superiority on myriad levels vs. browser addons (even fixing DNS kaminsky redirect security issue flaw)
http://tech.slashdot.org/comme...
In terms of adding not only adblocking, but more speed (hardcodes + adblocking), security (vs. malware/botnets/spam/phish/maliciously coded scripts on sites AND adbanners), reliability (hardcodes function thus vs. downed OR redirect-poisoned DNS servers), & anonymity (vs. DNS request logs OR dnsbl's you *don't* like/agree with too).
* I respect Animats a GREAT deal (guy does & has done some good things in his time online that I know of such as what he's extolling now, but hosts clean his clock there like they do to *ANY* browser addon - period/fact!).
APK
P.S.=> I really do *not* like bringing this up in Animats' case... why? He's OUT THERE doing good things (not just "talking", but acting in good measure for the "absolute good" of others), unlike MANY here on /. forums - period!
... apk
See subject-line, & this list of facts -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comme...
APK
P.S.=> You're trusting a "fox in the henhouse" with Ghostery imo since they're advertiser owned, & from what I've read here in this very exchange you're in?
Same with adblock!
I.E.-> Apparently some of the "adblock variants" are admen bought up!
Bought up by advertisers or paid off to NOT do their originally intended job of blocking ads which adblocks are KNOWN TO BE "CRIPPLED BY DEFAULT" becoming "Almost ALL Ads Blocked" instead... pitiful! What's next? Aspirin that almost stops ALL headaches??
(Which I was aware of before, but not as much as is shown here -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... PLUS from what the article itself alludes to in tracking users of one of the adblock variants, etc.-et al as well)
Man!
Well, guess that's why you can ALWAYS count on idiots to do the WRONG THING & that's what Admen do!
E.G.-> When in doubt & their sockpuppeteering marketing alongside twisting facts/skewing stats don't work vs. possible threats OR competition, they always follow the SAME pattern, of "can't beat 'em? BUY 'EM!"... apk

I'm not sure what's more annoying, the basic copypasta or apk's pathetically obvious attempts to sockpuppet himself some support.
InB4 yet another 92 rounds of apk's batshit screaming and frothing.
HTTP Switchboard (for Chromium--maybe someday for Firefox) is the best:

Oh wait, no, I won't, because I'm not fucking crazy. When apk acts like this it certainly reinforces the wisdom of *not* letting his software run with superuser/admin privileges on any box I have control over.
Sweet jesus, man. What's wrong with you? Can't afford your meds anymore, or did you simply stop taking them?
Adblock plus in my browsers *and* hosts loaded in my local DNS by my own scripts FTW. I would hand code the damn hosts overrides myself before executing even a single NOP instruction written by apk.
Is ALWAYS the "last resort" of failed ac trolls, outnumbered 110++:1 as you were by my posts - as far as my ware being "bad"? How come MalwareBytes' hpHosts recommends it as "best of breed" @ the TOP of their page & hosts it for me here then? -> http://hosts-file.net/?s=Downl...
Explain that (they are, after all, A RESPECTED PART OF THE SECURITY COMMUNITY ITSELF!)
I've just made a "monkey" out of you - that's no "1st" either, now is it? No, that's why you troll me by ac posts (too obvious, your favorite color just HAS to be 'transparent', since I can see right thru you, easily)... & thus, YOU fail again as per your usual, & of course, as per MY USUAL vs. your low self, I just HAVE to say it:
THIS? This was just "too, Too, TOO EASY - just '2ez'"...
(It always is vs. "ne'er-do-well" trolls that open their mouths & insert their foot, washing it down with 'the bitter taste of SELF-defeat' vs. 110++:1 odds against their b.s. they spout!)
APK
P.S.=> By the way: MalwareBytes' hpHosts has also helped me PROVE my ware is 100% clean & free of exploit of any kind vs. Norton/Symantec, McAfee/Intel, Comodo, ClamAV, & ArcaVir @ the JOTTI + VirusTotal online antivirus scanner tests - FORCING THEM TO RESCIND FALSE POSITIVES (of 80 total scanners there, only THEY screwed up & EXACTLY where I told them they did - on exe compression methods in 64-bit version, but my 32-bit version was always clean on ANY test & yet exact same codebase - I schooled the "experts", easily, also)... apk
Regarding AdBlock & Wladimir Palant its creator: He wrote me by email, 1st mind you, stating "hosts are a shitty solution" to which I replied this:
"Show us that adblock can do more for added speed, security, reliability, & anonymity than hosts files can, + that adblock does it more efficiently than hosts do"
Which on my latter 'point-in-challenge' on efficiency he was proven in research by others to be MASSIVELY inefficient -> https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth... & Palant can't show adblock does more (especially crippled by default as it is, 'souled-out' to GOOGLE no less).
Additionally - I sent Wladimir Palant that challenge in response to his statement, & from 2 different email addresses I keep no less!
Result? This:
Still no answer from him to myself 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 far inferior to hosts and certainly less efficient by far also) - Wladimir Palant RAN like a scared rabbit...
I only tell it how it is on hosts' superiority vs. AdBlock & any browser addon (or combo of them, from a SINGLE FILE you already natively possess no less - vs. "bolting on" more redundant & inefficient complexity + room for failure/breakdown) - funniest part is, Wladimir Palant (& his running) does as well!
APK
P.S.=> Clearly, Hosts are a superior solution, on many levels, that even fixes DNS redirect security issues (vs. browser addons & their inefficiencies + messagepassing overheads as well as myriad lack of abilities hosts have from 1 single file that is part of the IP stack itself - faster, more efficient, & less redundant as well, since TCP/IP has 45++ yrs. of refinement & optimization applied to 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 default by the OS itself as well - MULTIPLE bonuses)... apk

I only tell it how it is on hosts' superiority vs. AdBlock & any browser addon (or combo of them, from a SINGLE FILE you already natively possess no less - vs. "bolting on" more redundant & inefficient complexity + room for failure/breakdown) - funniest part is, Wladimir Palant (& his running) does as well!

Regarding AdBlock & Wladimir Palant its creator: He wrote me by email, 1st mind you, stating "hosts are a shitty solution" to which I replied:
"Show us that adblock can do more for added speed, security, reliability, & anonymity than hosts files can, + that adblock does it more efficiently than hosts do"
Which on my latter 'point-in-challenge' on efficiency he was proven in research by others to be MASSIVELY inefficient -> https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth... & Palant can't show adblock does more (especially crippled by default as it is, 'souled-out' to GOOGLE no less).
Additionally - I sent Wladimir Palant that challenge in response to his statement, & from 2 different email addresses I keep no less!

Reputation is a perfectly reasonable metric for trustworthiness. You have earned a horrible reputation, and therefore your code is not trustworthy.
Besides, it's not like it's hard to generate and install hosts files, I have done it myself.
Also, can you please keep your promise to post another 110 times for every time I reply to you in order for you to keep your purported ratio? I like having that multiplicative leverage to manipulate you. All right, go ahead and get cracking on that crapflood. Kthxbai!

You'll "evade this", & I've just made a "monkey" out of you (again)!
Of course - that's no "1st" either, now is it? No!
That's why you troll me by ac posts (too obvious, your favorite color just HAS to be 'transparent', since I can see right thru you, easily)... & thus, YOU fail again as per your usual, & of course, as per MY USUAL vs. your low self, I just HAVE to say it:

2.) Ghostery (Advertiser owned) - "Fox guards henhouse"
3.) Request Policy -> http://yro.slashdot.org/commen...

C.) Hosts secure vs. malicious domains too -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... w/ less added "moving parts" complexity/room 4 breakdown,
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 Fastflux + dynamic dns 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 message passing (use a few concurrently & see) & are nullified by native browser methods - It's how Clarityray is destroying Adblock.

Mmell just wants to be your friend. Probably the only person who has tried to do that in years.
You don't want hosts to be known about http://www.linkedin.com/pub/di... (subject line above also explains YOUR fails at defeating facts I put out regarding hosts also - you aren't technically skilled enough @ these levels to disprove my points on hosts... period).
You've defeated yourself repeatedly mmell avoiding answering my questions put to you (& certainly not disproving my points on hosts' superiority either where I dusted yours with facts easily - you're just not on my level technically OR OTHERWISE & you never will be, Mmell & that's why you resort to off topic trolling + libeling me even... piss poor results that)
By way of comparison, I give folks what they want via hosts with absolute fact you can't disprove backing it - pure truth!
(My app does it better than ANY other single solution, especially browser addons 'souled-out' like AdBlock is & crippled by default OR Ghostery owned by advertisers + even its competition in like programs of its kind, AND it fixes DNS security redirect issues too - multiple bonuses!)
APK Hosts File Engine 9.0++ 32/64-bit http://start64.com/index.php?o... does all that, & more efficiently than any other "so-called 'solution'" from 1 single file you natively already have (less moving complexity parts for breakdown & from a highly refined faster, & higher cpu service + priveleged kernelmode subsystem vs. slower usermode layered over browsers slowing them more addons)!
Adding speed (blocking ads often infested with malicious script for security too, & hardcoding fav. sites = faster than dns poisonable remote DNS servers are), security (vs. malware of all types online, especially the most advanced & dangerous types heavily dependent on host-domain names in "FastFlux", "Dynamic DNS", & "DGA" utilizing botnets), + even anonymity (vs. dnsbl + dns request logs)!
Fact - you can't touch it, or me: Truth & fact are like that, so am I.

APK Hosts File Engine 9.0++ 32/64-bit is FAR from a "malware" & is classified as antispyware/antimalware/firewall software here in fact as well as being hosted by MalwareBytes' hpHosts site (a respected member of the security community) in fact as I noted in this exchange.

Please go ahead and continue to jump up and down with your retarded troll antics, APK.
You are doing so much to prove to everyone that they should NOT trust you or your software with administrator privileges on their machines.
I use lists of ad hosts to block things, but I would never use software created by you. You are simply, obviously, incontrovertibly untrustworthy as proven by your antics here and elsewhere on the internet, and you no doubt have mental issues.
Why don't you like mmell? He apologized to you and is trying to be your friend, even after you hacked gmhowell's account. He even tried to encourage you to get the mental help you so obviously need.
How many friends do you have in this world, apk? No, don't count the imaginary friendships... just the real ones. Why don't you want mmell as a friend? Having one friend is so much more than zero.
If my ware's a "malware" then why can't you prove this wrong from me http://tech.slashdot.org/comme...
?
(Your PUNY attempts @ "psychological attack" = weak! I don't *think* that you "get it", do you? I'm NOT here to win a popularity contest, here OR in real life... & yes, I do have pals despite your weak b.s. & projecting YOU are not able to stand on YOUR OWN, without them apparently... you project your own weaknesses, constantly (indicating you aren't too intelligent)).
I never "hacked" gmhowell, or anyone else's, account. What gave you THAT dumb idea?
Heck - I don't even need an account of my own here.
ALL I NEED?

I get the best speed and privacy from running AdBlock Plus *and* blocking hosts. But I'll set my computer on fire before executing a single opcode written by you. This isn't an issue, because it's trivial to load hosts via script. Your software is worthless, especially because it requires executing something you provide, using elevated privileges.
No one in their right mind would ever do that. You are a libellous identity thief, and your malware is a backdoor into any machine whose user is retarded enough to install it.

P.S.=> There you go (again, I suspect, lol) & please show us & PROVE that I AM AN "IDENTITY THIEF" since you continue to libel me... apk
Users want trustworthy software that just works. Your software fails on both counts, whereas AdBlock Plus blocks ads and "anything other than APK's untrustworthy software" works well for adding in hosts blocking. Because, you know, hosts can't block everything and users need something like Ad Block Plus to cover those other cases.
Stop trolling, apk. It's been conclusively proven that you and your software are a failure.
PS. The proof is right here, as always, you libelous identity thief: http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=5467931&cid=47638551
See subject-line & AdBlock doesn't do a fraction of what hosts can for speed, security, reliability, + more - period.
* Proof's right here (when I confronted Wladimir Palant of "Almost all ads blocked", crippled like it is) & Wladimir Palant ran from my challenge to him to show anyone reading that AdBlock does more for users than hosts files do, twice, after stating "hosts are a shitty solution" to me -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... after HE wrote ME, 1st mind you, stating that. I wrote him back from 2 diff. emails, & still no response... he fails, and so do you - period.

P.S.=> Lastly - State your PROOF that I am an "identity thief": I'd like to see that much since I've asked that of you (since you libel me as that much & it is NOT true that I am an identity thief)... apk
For example, any hosts file-based solution must be augmented by an additional system to block "in-band" ads that are served by the same servers as serve the site's normal content.
Ad Block Plus (and other such software) can do that. Hosts obviously cannot, because it's a binary control whether to block all content from a given host or not. APK, you fail to understand that some people might use both in order to ensure that the best coverage is obtained.
Why would you not want to have some ads/bad material blocked (e.g. the in-band served stuff)? Could it be that you are in the pocket of advertisers/marketers, much as you accuse others of being?
I'm not surprised. The proof of your malfeasance is right here, you libelous identity thief. You fail: http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=5467931&cid=47638551
AdBlock's CRIPPLED BY DEFAULT NOT TO BLOCK EVERYTHING! You shot yourself in the foot with this weak point, AND?
Clue: Ads that PAY aren't on the same server so admen don't TRUST websites for that (would you? If so, you're very dumb):
E.G.-> The site could say "We get 10 billion views a second on that ad so pay us on that insane amount!" when in reality, they only got a few hits.
* You're SINGLE "advantage" (i.e. not one at all) doesn't WORK IN THE REAL WORLD on real paying ads for that very reason above - it's a fantasy you're selling there...
(AdBlock also doesn't DO EVERYTHING hosts can, not by a longshot...)
APK
P.S.=> There is, however, NO QUESTION that hosts files do more for security, speed, reliability, & even anonymity, especially vs. "Almost ALL Ads Blocked" (crippled by default like it is - Per my subject-line above - AdBlock DOESN'T BLOCK EVERYTHING EITHER from what I understand, it doesn't TOUCH Google ads since they were paid off NOT to block them)... apk
Proof's all over this post on that (so quit being a pot calling a kettle black) http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... per my subject-line above & not only was your script full of "bugs", but it's NOT what USERS WANT since it's not GUI!
(Users want graphical user interfaces in today's graphical computing world - not 'script kiddie scripts'... or isn't Windows, MacOS X, & Linux GUI's NOT "the way of the day", troll? Yes, they are... you lose).
*:)
(You fail... as always)
APK
P.S.=> You can stop trolling, until you prove AdBlock or your 'script kiddie script' that I practically WROTE FOR YOU (lol, it's all up there in that link) & you STILL got it wrong (& are in for HUGE surprises in other areas too after those on hosts data) DOES MORE than hosts do for added speed, security, reliability, & anonymity more efficiently + MORE ACCURATELY where you failed badly (clue - they don't do more & never can, or will)... apk
APK Hosts File Engine allows you to turn hosts on/off in 1 click so, if for SOME reason, you wanted to see blocked content on a particular site? You can, easily... just like that (via its popup trayicon or rightclick of main screen menus).
You shouldn't shoot your mouth off on things you have NO CLUE ON, fool...
Thus, you failed on these points (that "Shot yours down" as pure b.s., rather easily):
1.) Your scriptkiddie script NOT being what folks want & use (GUI) -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comme...
2.) Your scriptkiddie script NOT WORKING RIGHT (& I had to show you how/where/when/why you screwed up on it, practically architecting & building it for you) -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comme...
3.) AdBlock's CRIPPLED BY DEFAULT & doesn't block everything you fool (didn't you KNOW that? Apparently not) & AdBlock doesn't do a FRACTION of what hosts can for added speed, security, reliability, & even anonymity that hosts files do -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comme...
(On that last note? From what I have read & understand, Adblock's "in the pocket of advertisers" paid off by GOOGLE not to block THEIR ads - so it surely doesn't block it all, that's for SURE... @ least that's what I've seen on /. @ some point!).
4.) Ads that actually PAY are not served from the same server, moron (advertisers do NOT trust websites to report on them honestly is why, you utter fool - spouting non-real world "features" (that aren't) as "benefits" is a TOTAL fail on YOUR end...)
* There's your "Fantastic 4 fails" - you've got to live with them, not I (I do, however, get to lmao @ them, and thus, you too... lol!)
APK
P.S.=> Lastly - I keep asking you your PROOF that I am an "identity thief" since you libel me thus & I am NOT an "identity thief" or malware maker etc. as you also libeled me aswhich you RUN from disproving after my counter-proof all thru this exchange -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comme...
