So I use Ublock Origin, NoScript, a good restrictive firewall, and also a comprehensive/etc/hosts file.
In what way does this make me "scared shitless" of a hosts file? Really, I am confused on this matter. I consider the minor resource usage to be a worthwhile trade-off for this beefy system. So you understand my confusion, then? Perhaps you could elaborate? Hopefully my multi-layered approach won't lead to accusations of not being enough of a pure "true believer" for your tastes. That would be a definite detriment to your (potentially reasonable) position, considering that I regard a good hosts file as a useful and valuable supplement to my multi-layered approach. In my use case, "not letting shit get through" is a higher priority than "make the most effecient use of hardware possible" especially when the difference between "current effeciency" and "maximum effeciency" are imperceptible to me.
So I am asking about the nature of your advocacy. Do you believe you have the Holy Grail of Truth? Or do you recognize that your position is technically true, yet the final decision of how to secure a host is a complex problem best solved with overlapping concurrent solutions? This will be a litmus test of whether or not you are the fanatic some have called you. I await your response.
You seem to be making a lot of corrective/"edit" posts. So I will assume benefit of doubt and take as an omission, the fact you have not answered a simple question. What does the abbreviation "LMMFAO" stand for, if not what I asked? It would show a lot of integrity and intellectual honesty if you were to answer such a simple question, or confess that you don't know. I really do not know how to ask this question more plainly.
I didn't know your ass was fat NI__ERpenisbestPENIS... But I can guess that you are a super-fucktarded liberal scumbag from your name... Do the world a favor and Kill Yourself... (See no KYS, so you don't have to make a shitty "Egg on your own face" guess!):-)D
It's amazing how many words you can use and still fail to answer such a simple question. Is this what I get for assuming you wouldn't use an abbreviation with which you were unfamiliar?

How's that -1 working out for ya? LMMFAO!
"LMMFAO"? This is just a guess but is it: Laughing My Massive Fat Ass Off?
Seriously. Why bother with Windows 10 if it's going to spy on your activity?
Why bother with Windows 10?
Why bother with Windows X?
It usually has to get really bad before people decide to accept change. At least historically that's the tendency.
surely someone must have a list of addresses to blacklist in our HOSTS file?
Please don't summon ... him.
