I have several sites that I block using /etc/hosts. That way no matter |
| 16 |
what browser profile I'm using, that site is blocked on all of them, |
| 17 |
adblock, ublock etc or not. I might add, for some sites, they can't |
| 18 |
detect it is being blocked with those anti-adblock detectors. A few |
| 19 |
sites will not let you use them if adblock is running. If I disable |
| 20 |
adblock, the offending site is still blocked. |
| 21 |

The only downside, it blocks pretty much the entire site. It can block |
| 23 |
content you want. Adblock and such allows you to block ad directories |
| 24 |
and such where hosts file doesn't. Each has its own usage I guess. |
