antiX Advert Blocker does not work, It is just a bloat ...

The deb is 29K in size, hardly bloat

Use this Antix Adblocker software and then check your Host file, You will see how many domains are there,
this is a single host file i found on github it has more domains then antix adblocker https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Steve ... ster/hosts

antiX Advert Blocker does not work, It is just a bloat, I dont think software developer update this software, very less domain in adblocker list.

I am using latest version of MX-21.3 antix adblocker is a piece of trash, no updates for this trash adblocker

Use this Antix Adblocker software and then check your Host file, You will see how many domains are there

I dont know what is wrong with people why they argue so much

Oh Boy.....

The antiX adblock uses StevenBlack hosts file.

# Improvements to this script:
# -- Use StevenBlack's unified hosts file ( github.com/StevenBlack/hosts )
# This is what pihole uses by default
# This unifies most of the lists previously present in antiX advert blocker + other useful lists
# -- Options to select StevenBlack's hosts file extensions
# ie. options to block fakenews, gambling, porn , social media -- can be useful for parental control , content filtering etc.,
# -- Compress 9 lines in 1 for lesser file size , much lesser number of lines ( about 10x ) and better performance ( as StevenBlack's updateHostsFile.py can do -- https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/pull/459)
# -- Do all work in a random subdirectory of /tmp ( not in /tmp as it was before ) for more security, less clutter and less conflicts
# -- Show a warning if not running as root / sudo
# -- Update the welcome message to reflect these

Code: Select all

# Compress 9 lines into 1
    # This is taken from StevenBlack's updateHostsFile.py
    # This will decrease file size , decrease number of lines drastically ( about 10x ) and increase performance
    # Writing it in bash seems too slow. So, we use python, which is faster here
	cat << EndOfFile > $WORKINGDIR/compress.py

Code: Select all

# download the ads lists
function download_blocklist
{	
    # UNBLOCK
    if [ "$unblock" == "true" ]; then
        mv -f "/etc/hosts.ORIGINAL" "/etc/hosts" 
        rm -f "/etc/hosts.saved"
    elif [ -z $what_to_block ] ; then
		# StevenBlack's basic blocklist ( blocks adware, malware etc., ) , without any other extensions
		wget_dialog https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts $WORKINGDIR/blocklist1
	else 
		# StevenBlack's blocklist with selected extensions
		wget_dialog "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/alternates/"$what_to_block"/hosts" $WORKINGDIR/blocklist1
	fi

What is wrong with you, Did i say anything about developer of Antix AdBlocker, Antix AdBlocker software is not currently in development, domain list is not updating last time i check 47,000 domains are in the list,

@Malik, you are out-of-order, incorrect, rude, and very possibly leading others astray. I request the forum administrator to at least put you in time-out.

Just read the Eadwine Rose comment above is he not rude to me am i saying something about developer he is trying to educate me about something i don't signup for, if people get little but power they think they can do and say anything to others, In past i talk to Eadwine Rose and he is rude person. Other Admins dont send me any warning today but Eadwine Rose send me, this is how people misuse their power & Eadwine Rose if you want to ban me do it i am not scared of you and i am not going to die :D
