    Thanks for the update Cliff. It had been quite some time since I had updated my hosts file.

    This is all new to me and I just copied and pasted the page into the host file. Is this a complete list? Also does this work with all browsers? I use Edge Dev, Firefox and occasionally Edge.

    Do not use the host file to block Ads and what have you. It was NEVER meant for that and you'll choke your system. Use something like uBlock Origin or what ever. Here's the coin list I use in uBlock Origin. It's from Github and will automatically update.

    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hoshsadiq/adblock-nocoin-list/master/nocoin.txt

    How to add it to uBlock:

    Go to Filter lists, scroll all the way to the bottom and click the "import" option. Now just add the address above. Done. Looking at the code it'll update every 7 days.
