Comment on An update on uBlock

A good solution I've found for ad blocking is using the following hosts file:

https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

Which sinkholes every known ad/malicious domain. It's been pretty useful, and it hasn't broken nothing important yet.

I've been using http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm anyone know how they compare?

(reading github description, seems it includes this as a source, but also others)

A quick line count shows that the file from your link has 14354 entries, while the one on the github repo has 65357.

My brain read that as 65537.

Well, people like nice, round numbers:)
