Is there any plans to support asterisk(s) in blocklists?
It could drastically reduce RAM footprint and battery consumption. Some time ago in julian-klode/dns66#423, I wrote an example for doubleclick.net subdomains. But now it is possible to fully estimate the difference for all marketing and other subdomains
Btw, wildcard or not, it doesn't matter in terms of perf for RethinkDNS. Of course reduction in size is important but that's secondary concern as RethinkDNS already compresses the included blocklists six ways from Sunday.

Two blocklists (compiled from the strictly same sources): first is traditional one
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mtxadmin/ublock/master/hosts.txt - 29.7 MB
And the second is using asterisks (for using in Blokada)
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mtxadmin/ublock/master/hosts_blokada.txt - 2.94 MB
In addition, using of asterisks can block all the new subdomains automatically.
