Block All Domains That Serve Ads, Tracking Scripts and Malware: hBlock

Improve your security and privacy by blocking ads, tracking and malware domains. This POSIX-compliant shell script, designed for Unix-like systems, gets a list of domains that serve ads, tracking scripts and malware from multiple reputable sources and creates a hosts file that prevents your system from connecting to them.

Installation


curl -o /tmp/hblock 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zant95/hblock/v1.3.2/hblock' 
  && echo 'd402d9b941300c255271a609a063174dc52233fe80049df29b535c1d339bc7dd  /tmp/hblock' | shasum -c 
  && sudo mv /tmp/hblock /usr/local/bin/hblock 
  && sudo chown root:root /usr/local/bin/hblock 
  && sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/hblock
