[Q] AdAway-like ad block application for Windows

[Makorus]

Hello guys

I'm looking for an AdAway-like application for Windows 10 x64, using the well-known "hosts" blocking method.
I know there are browser extensions doing the job, but I'm missing an application like AdAway where I can add my own hosts sources, apply custom black- and whitelists etc.

Does anyone have a solution for me?

Thanks in advance!

This sounds pretty cool, the only thing that gives me pause is how would one go about uninstalling it, or is that even necessary?

I recommend this, a multi-platform hosts tool called Hozz with a beautiful UI. Merging different hosts files from internet, easy backup, all the features you need is here.
