Hay Day from Supercell is still blocked. I want to remove it by myself from the hosts file, but I don't know what to look for. I've tried 'hay day' and 'supercell' and the only things blocked are truly malicious site. Somebody help me please 
With NetGuard this is working so perfectly. I am now using NetGuard along with MoaAB. Blocking is 100percent. Deleting hosts file will not have stop the blocking as you already imported tge entries.
This is intentionally set. But users can definitely remove as per there needs.
Thank you for clarifying! We actually have the same setup. I was worried since I thought deleting hosts would also remove adblocking. How about the number of hosts? Does it matter? I have your older version and it has around 400k but now it only has 170k. Is it the bigger, the better?

great work. thank you.
We can only dream of 'THE' Perfect AD & Malware Blocker...
BUT.....
Don�t wait any longer and start your quest in an AD free, Safer & Secure Experience.
Start using MoaAB. DOWNLOAD Right Now.
Update: 21 DECEMBER 2016 Release 1
The Purpose of this Project is to make Device CLEANER, FASTER, SMOOTHER & FRIENDLY.
--------------------
The IDEA is to Minimize the ADs... NOT Total Eradication. Respect the Good Developers and there Revenues for Living.
FREEDOM NOTE: My ADBlocking MOD realizes that advertising and revenue is important to OEM/App Developers and this is how they earn money, BUT too much Advertisements are instrusion to privacy (I am also an App Developer but I Really Dont Like ADs). Advertisements are not automatically blocked but users have the choice whether to block or not block by manually Fashing my ADBlocking CWM MOD.
GENERAL KNOWLEDGE: This MOD will Save you CPU Processing used in Advertisement Contents, In-App Ads, Hidden App Call-Back Home Routines, Malware/Spyware Sites, In-App User Data Collection, Definitely... Stupid Garbage from Internet and Precious Bandwidth resulting Extended Battery Life and Money Saved in Internet bills. THINK ABOUT IT.
--------------------
>>> What is a 'hosts' file? What it Does? Whats in it for Me?
The 'hosts' file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names and loaded into memory (cache) at startup. Android OS checks the 'hosts' file before it queries any DNS servers, which enables it to override addresses in the DNS. This prevents access to the listed sites by redirecting any connection attempts back to the localhost (127.0.0.1), which is a loopback and traffic is dropped instantly (saving your millions of money used by network traffic 2G/3G/4G). Another feature of the 'hosts' file is its ability to block other applications (bogus applications) from connecting to the Internet, providing the entry exists.
'hosts' file is used to BLOCK ADs, BLOCK Banners, BLOCK 3rd Party Cookies, BLOCK 3rd Party Page Counters, BLOCK Web Bugs, BLOCK Web Hijackers, BLOCK Phishing Sites, BLOCK Malwares, BLOCK Spywares, BLOCK Trackers, BLOCK Unauthorized Application connections to web and BLOCK other Malicious activities...
This is not 100% Protection but atleast it takes care of ALMOST ALL OF THE SECURITY ISSUES FACING FROM THE BAD SITES.
For full Security, Use Antivirus or Security Suite from Android Market.
>>> Performance Issue? Will my device run SLOW?
I am using this 'hosts' file from my chilhood days and never had any performance issue to date, Although you might have a little delay in startup for few seconds (but you will not even notice) and then everything will be cool in standby and active mode. I say "Little delay is better than ADs, Malwares and Spywares..."
Please Read this Post for RAM usage

Can someone help me out here? I have been using this mod for awhile but I can't seem to get it to work for me anymore. Has things changed for android 7? I'm using OP3, Slim 7 and a custom kernel. I prefer this mod to apps like AdWay, which is working for me.
You'll have to be a bit more specific than "can't seem to get it to work". Walk us through the steps you're taking.

Sorry, but.. Im use to just flashing the zip and ads are gone! But now, I flash it and Chrome is full of ads and its really bad on this site.
There must be a data saving feature option in chrome. You need to turn that option off.

will look into this...
Probably not the best place to ask this, but I used the hosts file "http://adblock.mahakala.is" in adaway and I am still seeing ads in the tumblr app, and (although I dont know if this could actually fix this) youtube video ads.
Am I right in thinking that this 'mod' is doing basically the same thing that adaway is doing? Just replacing the hosts file? If not, or if this does it "better", can this be flashed on a 7.1 TWRP Pixel?
Any help would be much appreciated.

This is basically modifying the host file and if I am not wrong it is the same as the one at http://adblock.mahakala.is. For blocking YouTube ads use Xposed with aptly named YouTube AdAway. Don't know about Tumblr ads though.
Of course, Xposed has and does everything, unfortunately I happen to be on 7.0+. Was just making sure that this couldn't block youtube ads. Still was hoping it blocked Tumblr ads but oh well.
I don't know about Tumblr, but try it out. In case it doesn't try adding the following entries as well.
Code:
cookiex.ngd.yahoo.com
px.srvcs.tumblr.com
secure.assets.tumblr.com
36.media.tumblr.com

And... If You Like my MoaAB MOD... Remember to Press...Thanks button84Dear Users,
It seems that few of us are having problems with MoaAB and getting BLOCKED due to whatever reasons also calling the dev 'idi*t'. I feel WOW.
Let me clarify all Users that this list is "Fine Tuned" to the extent that it Blocks "Almost" all ADs and ALSO, Virus, Malware, Spyware, Bloatware and blah blah blah, Read Post No#1 for detailed information on MoaAB.
But again its not Perfect and No MOD or Software will ever be Perfect in 100% Blocking. My MOD is constantly updated and adding hand picked blocking and just not merging plain sources but combining it will commercial sources i have access to, clearing most of the invalid blocks and giving you the Full Flexibility to customize it as per your specific needs and Not needing Daddy to Help You Out, Just Remove the entries you dont want and Thats It. If Perfect blocking is required then Go and use AdBlock, AdAway or other Apps. You are always free to use and report issues but not to silly complain of your own.
Always report me Whats is being Blocked and What to Block and i will Happy to do it for you in my spare time as time is very important for me to be more productive and earn my living and be with my family first. This is a FREE but PREMIUM WORK for You Guys. At Least be neutral if not Appreciate.
Cheers. :good:66to Obagleyfreer
Hi Obagleyfreer,
You can append the hosts file to your '/etc/hosts' either by some terminal program (BetterTerminal) or copy your '/etc/hosts' to your PC and manually append then re-copy over USB.
I strongly recommend to use my version of 'hosts' file over yours due to the fact that it contains updated BLOCKING Data from more than 5 sources. It also contains Custom BLOCKING Data based on my analysis.
Happy BLOCKING.54Update: 21 March 2014
