Project Summary

Automate hosts file updates on Linux and MacOS. Block Firefox telemetry, Google snooping and web trackers at the root.

Hosts file are a useful redundancy when coupled with ad blockers like uBlock Origin and uMatrix - while debugging or 'Temporarily Allow All on this Site' with Noscript can open you up to underlying attacks or privacy intrusions.

In-browser filters won't protect you if the browser itself is phoning home.
