P.S.=> I pretty much KNOW who downmods my posts on hosts, & it's only logically 1 of 4 types:
So, not worried about that in the least - there's NO disputing or defeating truth + cold hard facts, & the fact is, Custom Hosts Files are SUPERIOR to browser level competitors like AdBlock, Ghostery, RequestPolicy, etc.- et al layering over already SLOWER & LESS EFFICIENT Ring 3/RPL 3/UserMode applications in webbrowsers... I opted instead to use LESS moving parts & less complexity with something you already have that operates as 1st internet resolver queried & in FAR faster Ring 0/RPL 0/KERNELMODE OPERATIONS...
