The "Whitelist" link, i understand what that is. But the "blacklist", should i add them all into my hosts file? 3773 lines ? I'm so confused.

No, that's for Pi-Hole users.

for the regular OS hosts file u need this file, just add all the text in the hosts file.

wow thanks, it works. But the bottom blank banner is a little annoying. I tried using Fiddler to catch the ad banner host address, and I did get two of them: wg.spotify.com sdk1xyajs-data.xycdn.com

I added this two host address into hosts file, and the blank ad banner disappeared about 15 mins.Then it appeared again. Apparently I failed. XD

Anyway, thanks for your collecting for the host address.
