Below is an image that says 'Not Blocking' that is blocked in all of my lists. If you see it, then you are not using one of my lists. If you do not see it, then you are using one of my lists (or a list that includes one of my lists).
This project is also available in many host file aggregators and other services.
Maintaining a quality blocking project takes a lot of time. GoodbyeAds is completely independently funded. We fight for our users. This does mean however that we also have to spend our owns to pay the bills. This is where you can help: by chipping in you can ensure more time is spent improving GoodbyeAds rather than dealing with distractions.
This donation is for our services, not for any pack, resource or any other mean. Your support will help us keep the project running and provide you quality service.
Goodbye Ads Hosts are basically hosts files to block access to domains. If you don't know how it works, then please try this at your own risk. I won't be responsible for any damage or loss. Never forget to make backups.
