I'm using a rooted Android device with Adaway.

Can some fine gentlemen let me know some good filters/hosts to use with Adaway.

Additionally I would love if the filters can remove white spaces in browsers/apps too. Or do we need a different config for the same.

Thanks.

I have tried so many and so many break something here or there. Steven Black's is the only one I can recommend:
StevenBlack/hosts

It has an active community on GitHub that monitors what is breaking and what is working and they try to keep the size of the Hosts file as small as possible. The other one is the 3 hosts that come with Adaway. They cause the least trouble as well. The other massive hosts files all break functionality.

Thanks, have you used Energized list. This seems to be the default filter for Blokada now. Previously it was Steven Black.
