Ad Blocking via hosts file

2012 - With an initial push to block ads from my Browsing exprience and to limit Browser load time I was able find and Host file that blocks most Ads. When I share this with Mr. McCrory, who has taken it one Setup further by successfully blocked all ads from Hulu, many other video viewing websites, and some other trackers as well. While not all ads can be blocked at the domain level, Mr. McCrory does have instructions inside the file on how to block Pandora ads from playing inline as well, but you have to do this at your internet router through specific URL filtering.
b There is an optional section, that blocks some facebook items, as Mr. McCrory, doesn't belive in facebook.
Available Here
To use, determine where the hosts file is on your computer, and how to run an editor as administrator (if needed), then copy and paste the contents into your hosts file and save. You will then have blank spots where ads used to be. Feel free to contact me if you come across more sites to be blocked.
You should also see Mr. McCrory, Developer page for and nice Chrome extention that allows for more continuous Pandora play.
