Anyone in need of a solution to improve their security and privacy by blocking ads and malware

About hBlock

hBlock is a POSIX-compliant shell script that gets a list of domains that serve ads, tracking scripts and malware from multiple sources and creates a hosts file, among other formats, that prevents your system from connecting to them. On our website, you can download the latest build of the default blocklist and you can generate your own by following the instructions on the project page. Improve your security and privacy by blocking ads, tracking and malware domains. hBlock is available in various package managers. Additionally, a system timer can be set to regularly update the host's file for new additions. The default behavior of hBlock can be adjusted with multiple options. Nightly builds of the host's file, among other formats, can be found on the hBlock website. Sometimes you may need to temporarily disable hBlock, a quick option is to generate a hosts file without any blocked domains.

Domain Blocker
Domain Blocker
Helps you hide ads, avoid tracking, load pages faster, fight procrastination. Domain Blocker is written to be as efficient as possible, in terms of speed (CPU) and memory (RAM). The main idea is that there's little meaning to use a predefined blocklist consisting of tens of thousands of rules when you'll ever use only a small percentage of it. In Domain Blocker you build the blocklist as you go along. By blocking advertisement domains you disable the display of some of those pervasive ads. By blocking tracking domains you prevent the services to acquire information about your browsing behavior. By blocking unnecessary domains (requests) you save traffic and make pages loading faster! Just keep Facebook out of the Whitelist and do more! Read and change all your data on the websites you visit, to be able to intercept HTTP requests before they leave your browser. Completely free and with no ads.
