New Block List (Google)

[ghost]

Make a block list for google with these ads/trackers -

ad.doubleclick.net ad.click.g.doubleclick.net adservices.google.com googleads.g.doubclick.net googleadservicepixel.com googleadservices.com googlesyndication.com pagead2.googlesyndication.com pubads.g.doubleclick.net advgoogle.com blaaaa12.googlecode.com salefile.googlecode.com imgpop.googlecode.com googleadapis.l.google.com gstaticadssl.l.google.com googleapi.club doubleclickbygoogle.com googlerank.info video-stats.video.google.com video-ad-stats.googlesyndication.com trakksocial.googlecode.com myscoop-tracking.googlecode.com attributiontrackingga.googlecode.com google-pr7.de google-rank.org googleanalytcs.com

What’s the point of blocking multiple subdomains if you can simply block the main domain like doubleclick.net?

This is why I don’t use any public block lists - they are overloaded with redundant entries

@TimofeyK yeah, public blocklists can get unwieldy very quickly - many are copies or partial copies of one another, some entries which are from who knows how long ago, etc, and it's a gargantuan task to constantly check every single url. In this list "blaaaa12.googlecode.com" and a few others seem a little suspicious :P.

As you know, subdomain blocks can be helpful when a user may not want to block all of a domain, like blocking annoyingpopups.(someusefulsite).com but not (someusefulsite).com. In this case, we'll considering add two separate Google lists: Google Ads, and Google (for all services like maps, etc).

It would be nice if there was a big list already in the app that is put together by someone that knows what they are doing. Is there not an API for this? Also would be good to see a list of requests that come from the phone and then be able to block them. I have apps on my phone and I don't know if they are sending requests. Please advise! Thanks for your work on this, it's already very cool. :-)
