Nice, something like this I always use on browsers without Adblock, though a lot of times it blocks something I want to see.

Some other huge lists:
MVPS Hosts
hpHosts
Peter Lowe's list
Cameleon Hosts
Malware Domain List
It should be possible to merge all this hosts files with the one from the first post to create a really huge one. On Windows, a Tool called
HostsMan does exactly this.

erm . . . doesn't a crazy enormous hosts file slow things down? I seem to recall that being the case from my Window$ days but perhaps something else was afoot.

My hosts file contains all hosts I've listed, and my connection is as fast as always.
