Yes, I checked them closely. They retain the all essential localhost addresses up top, both for IPv4 and IPv6. However, one might need to be careful of owner, group and appropriate permissions. The sudo command should cover that, but I didn't do mine that way so I'm uncertain. Checking the file o

Instead of editing the hosts file with individual items,the easeyer way is to replace the existing hosts file. These replacement hosts files can be foun on the net in which new objectional ip addresses are added as discovered. I first found this method to avoid the irking youtube ads. It has bee

Re: Stopp ads loading

Even better is to replace or edit the "hosts" file on the mac. This is used by modern operating systems for connecting to the internet. It will block sites also including ads and other undesirable urls. A google for "os10 hosts" will get many results. On Thu, 2 Apr 2020, David The Computer Gu

Is this available for IOS as well? That’s actually where I see the worst of it, due to these ads constantly refreshing, and as it’s loading, it disrupts VoiceOver from speaking, but the sound for the ad is muted, so I just happened to have found out by accident one morning that an ad was loadin

Just realized you may be using an iPad. To invoke Reader View on and iPad or other iOS device, locate the Format Options button, somewhere along the top of the display, and double tap and hold. This should invoke Reader View for the current webpage. Sorry if my instructions are vague. I not on
