[QUOTE="Orchid, post: 1033984, member: 98800"] I have used host files to block ads in the past, but I have never seen host files blocking ads in software applications, so I cannot comment if using a host file is a good idea. However, there is no harm in finding out for yourself. I usd StevenBlack Host File. StevenBlack Host File is consistently updated every week or every couple of days. What I find about the StevenBlack Host File great is you can pick what type of host file/ads you want to block. For instance: there's a host file to block malware ads, social ads, gambling ads, etc., or a combination of one or more host files. If this interests you, the link to StevenBlack Host File is below.
