(BPHF) Bad Punching Host File [Universal]


Ive published these file originally on xda-developers,
but in my opinion many users reduce activity to their favorite forums.
Cause i wont withhold you these very useful modification, i decided theme start at diverse communitys to present you bphf.
Updatenotices and OP actualisations are unfortunately not possible cause of the time involve, however im here at the possessession if you have questions.

Code:
Inspired by BSDgeek_jane's mother of adblock, ive combined more than 19 hostname lists into one.
Its name should speak itself- this will keep most dangerous sites out of your range, and ads should be gone too.
The focus stays on security/privacy. maybe the huge file could slow down your android device, the moab is a mid-way cause its trimmed down already to take care of this point.
you can find tips to improve your device in second post.
!!
-- Important --
Firefox seems to ignore hosts file, import settings to Pale Moon (modified Firefox)
this is big security bug, known by devs since about 8 years and still no change

Your link is broken, but it's trying to go to -

http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...ile-030315-t3045350/post59200535#post59200535

You know, you can make an entry list of your sources from your post, and give people that to put into Adaway.

Adaway will then keep the hosts file up to date and perform a sort | uniq after any source update to keep it compact.

You can get Adaway through https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.adaway

Or get the unofficial version here -

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2190753

Or, you can do a daily or other regular roll-up of the list and host it so people can get it automatically updated via Adaway.

Just some suggestions, welcome to the forums!

I got this visiting your link -

Instead of it just going to the XDA thread.

url shortener are working this way. they take a long one to a combination so you can remember it, most just redirecting but all of them take part on bad meanings about these services- for example no one wants to click something u dont know, could be spam or anything.
And Xposed has a module for that -

I never set a default browser so that lets me see the link expanded before proceeding. :)

In any case, I agree with you and maintain that either way - the link was broken. ;)
