Starting with Blokada v5.11, and v4.12, a new blocklist is available in Blokada: hBlock.

Credits: hBlock.

What is it?

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.

From one guy who maintains block lists and a set of related shell scripts to another, I just wanted to say that hBlock is a wonderful project. If I wasn’t invested in using and maintaining my own software for the same purposes, hBlock would be my go-to. It’s great to see other creative, flexible, and FOSS shell script-based solutions in this space.
