The method I have found to stop tracking is to use /etc/hosts to block all traffic to sites that I don't want anything to do with including Facebook and their CDNs. I based it around https://github.com/leto/Util/blob/master/config/etc/hosts.bl... and have added more tracker/advertisement domains as I have encountered them.



Large host files really slow down browsing in Windows. Is their a solution for this besides clearing the DNS cache every hour?


You can block it on your router.
