[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 579966, member: 51905"] peter lowe is bad in my opinion. It can't even block some common ads like this tiny hosts although peter lowe has >2000 entries. I personally disable peter lowe because I found it useless if you have everything else enabled. about the place holder, I'm not sure but it produces the exact same result as ublock origin. The hosts purpose is to block ads from other non-browser apps like skype, utorrent. hphosts is 13-15MBs with thousands of entries so it definitey puts a strain to your browser and significantly increases ram and CPU usage. Everytime we visit a website, adblocker has to scan every single entry we selected so you can imagine how long it takes to scan a 14MB hosts file + others :) . I'm using easyprivacy also but something it caused some problems in the past. You should experiment youself because we visit different websites so it doesn't mean you also have the problems :) not really. when we put into the hosts, it will block everything in it. no way to whitelist. Because the hosts is very small so it just block some common ads like google, doubleclick so the functionality of the website won't be affected. if you really wanna whitelist it I may show you this 1/ temporarily revert to the original hosts 2/ visit the websites you want to whitelist, use ublock origin to monitor the blocked entries 3/ search for the similar entries in the hosts and delete them However because of it, you may see ads in other places [/QUOTE]
