Filterlist for AdGuard or Pi-Hole Very Important News (as of September 30, 2021)
I've made the decision to sunset this repository at the end of September 2021.
Thanks to all who have used this repo
Those who use AdGuard Home may wish to check out: https://github.com/hl2guide/AdGuard-Home-Whitelist
I've personally moved my set up to a "block all then manually whitelist" solution. It locally uses AdGuard Home far more efficiently and directly.
What I've done:
β modified the script to be more friendly and easier to runβ open sourced the generator (PowerShell and Python based) for the publicβ commited up until September 30, 2021 and then stoppedβ archived it and will no longer commit to it (no more updates)
My assessment of this repo is that it:
- is too large
- has a wide hit-and-miss ratio
- makes AdGuard Home use too much RAM
- makes manually adding whitelisted sites slow or not apply
- takes too long to generate
- is not the right approach
and that it simply doesn't meet modern requirements.
