Hello! Thank you for opening your first issue in this repo. It’s people like you who make these host files better!
@vitor251093 checking this list, many of these are already flagged. Indeed some of these are flagged by several of our curated hosts sources already,
Closing.
Whops, sorry. I've downloaded the hosts list labeled Unified hosts = (adware + malware) in the repository description. I thought it was a compilation...
st.chatango.com is not an advertisement/malware site, it's the script provider for the chat host chatango.com, blocking this also blocks access to any chat services hosted
I was blocking domains to my /etc/hosts file before discovering about this list. I've added it to my /etc/hosts file, but there were some in my list that aren't present in the actual adware+malware list. The hosts below are most probably all adware/malware websites, however I can't confirm that for sure since I used to block any domain that would open in pop-ups.
Also, I may don't have a proper environment to check if those domains are really safe or not. I prefer to trust that judgement for those who have experience with that :)
