“, I added a large batch of URLs to my hosts file a couple of days ago on my Win10”
And it cared ?!
Never have I seen this work. It just ignores it. But it really worked ?
It works for me on Win10 with the IE browser.
I use Hostsman for convenience- but same method.
“And it worked?”
So far ;^)
(But I also have a crap-load of ad-blockers on my browser too)
