Blocked Hosts

I am blocking Facebook, Outbrain and Taboola on my computer and you can too.

If you're running a Unix operating system (Ubuntu, MacOS, GNU/Linux), put the contents of hosts in your /etc/hosts file.

# First copy any lines you want onto your clipboard, then:
$ sudo sh -c 'pbpaste >> /etc/hosts'

# Or use a command-line editor:
$ sudo vi /etc/hosts

Now when I browse sites that attempt to load data from these sites, the requests will fail, keeping with my desire to avoid them as well as saving bandwidth and energy.
