List of suggestions for sources of hosts data #2573
Comments
Hello! Thank you for opening your first issue in this repo. It’s people like you who make these host files better! |
Thank you for this Diogo @DiogoMiguelCunha. This is good research! I'm always looking for good lists to add. By the way, "...don't seen to have too many duplicates" is not necessarily a good thing, here's why: this list amalgamates the work of several long-time list curators. Some of our sources curate their lists daily, with impressive diligence. When a list arises with few duplicates, I always wonder how this potential curator knows what's been missed by several other diligent curators combined over a long period of time. A big list with few duplicates with ours always makes me wonder 🤔 |
I'm going to use the panels below ⬇️ to assess each of the candidates you've found. I am using ghosts for this. I expect this is gonna take awhile because I have limited availability this week. |

Thank you for the explanations and showing examples of how the files are compared using Ghosts. Back to the lists, it makes a lot of sense that long-time curators wouldn't miss much. I hope you'll be able to extract something useful from these lists! |
Hello. I've browsed GitHub for years, but never created an account, so that's why it's new.
I hope this is the right place for such a suggestion.
I've been using your files for some time on OS, and recently on uBlock. I've recently searched for more lists that don't seen to have too many duplicates, and although I don't know how you would implement them on yours, I want to contribute and leave all the references and resources I found.
Since you mainly deal with Hosts, I've tried to find lists for that, with the "0.0.0.0", but even the other formats might be useful.
01. Scam Blocklist - "A blocklist to protect users against untrustworthy sites."
02. Orthrus BlockList - "List to block ads, trackers & malwares. Plus 200.000 unique domains and about 4 MB in size."
03a. NoTrack Malware Blocklist
03b. NoTrack Tracker Blocklist
04. Adblock-Nocoin-List - "Block lists to prevent JavaScript miners."
05. Fuck Fuckadblock: Mining - "Filters for blocking browser-based miners" (for browsers, but the sites themselves might be useful)
06. Hexxium Creations Threat List - "(...) scam, phishing, deceptive content, exploit, and tech support scam sites."
07. Stalkerware-Indicators - "Indicators of stalkerware apps"
08. RPiList Specials - "Protection against fake shops, advertising, tracking and other attacks from the Internet" (translated from German)
