Very Important News (as of September 30, 2021)
⚠⚠⚠⚠⚠ℹℹℹℹℹ
I've made the decision to sunset this repository at the end of September 2021.
Thanks to all who have used this repo 👍

I've personally moved my set up to a "block all then manually whitelist" solution. It locally uses AdGuard Home far more efficiently and directly.
What I've done:
- ✅ modified the script to be more friendly and easier to run
- ✅ open sourced the generator (PowerShell and Python based) for the public
- ✅ commited up until September 30, 2021 and then stopped
- ✅ archived it and will no longer commit to it (no more updates)
My assessment of this repo is that it:
- is too large
- has a wide hit-and-miss ratio
- makes AdGuard Home use too much RAM
- makes manually adding whitelisted sites slow or not apply
- takes too long to generate
- is not the right approach
and that it simply doesn't meet modern requirements.
