An ad blocker that uses the hosts file. The hosts file contains a list of mappings between hostnames and IP addresses. When an app requests an ad, that request is directed to 127.0.0.1 which does nothing. There are options to run a web server to respond to blocked hostnames and to direct requests to the IP address of your choosing. You can download hosts files from the app but it is possible to use your own and to add certain sites to the white- and black-lists.
​

You're modifying hosts file right ?

There are 4 sources you used. All of them having same adresses to block. (They are not 100% same but they are having same sites to block.)

So there are double even triple entries on hosts file which causes slow downs & lags.

Yes, modifying hosts for sure.

If you check source code on GitHub you will see that script by it self remove double lines, also remove empty lines and add one empty at the end of a file
