Why uAdBlock currently no longer works

[domubpkm]

Last hosts file that i kept and use, built with 14 (all) uAdBlock blocking lists = 21.2 mb

I assume that you finally turned it off definitively. I didn't know that this feature had this great cost until now. It is sad to say but this feature looks not sustainable for a small community like ours to keep this working just with donations (I desire to be wrong). I don't know if it could be done in another way. Anyway, Malte, thanks for all the work you have done. I'll try to send you a small donation this week.
Regards

For those who are not aware, uAdBlock is currently working.

@domubpkm Hum, I still have a lots of ads...

[domubpkm]

@dizzy Check the size of this file

[dizzy]

@domubpkm 312 bytes ...

[domubpkm]

@dizzy That means that uAdBlock doesn't work for you ! You take all ads ! You must update uAdBlock.
First open and deactivate uAdBlock, then choose the lists you want, then update. After that, you must be protected. And you can check again the size of hosts file, probably xx mb !

@domubpkm same here. 312 bytes and no blocking at all. I tried several times.

[dizzy]

@domubpkm That worked. Thanks for the help!.

@domubpkm now it works. I don't now if I did something wrong, but it is great to have a adblocker again

@beli3ver : thank you for all the effort over the years.

@domubpkm: does this mean we could share hosts files to do adblocking?

Maybe we should check out if we somehow can manage to use tblock on ubports devices.

So, new version of uAdBlock server is online, mega performant and doesn't eat resources anymore. In addition, after a new review of the app by Brian, there will be a new version with 4 new lists and fix some bugs.
