A master blocklist engineered to neutralize mobile application telemetry, bloatware, and tracking domains. This project provides a transparent, documented approach to privacy by explaining exactly what is being blocked and why, rather than relying on black-box filters.
- Focus: Mobile application telemetry and OS hardening.
- Cross-Platform utility: While designed for mobile, these rules neutralize tracking endpoints shared by premium desktop clients including Discord, Steam, Spotify, Slack, Zoom, and Office 365.
- Maintenance: Maintained by Chops.
The blocklist is compatible with the following engines:
- Browser Extensions: uBlock Origin (Desktop & Mobile) and Brave Shields.
- Network-Level Firewalls: AdGuard Home, NextDNS, and Control D.
- Android Clients: RethinkDNS.
This blocklist targets telemetry, analytics, and tracking across the following domains:
- Social & Communications: TikTok, Meta (Facebook/Instagram), X, Snapchat, LinkedIn, Reddit, Discord, Telegram, Zoom, and Slack.
- Retail & Commerce: Walmart, Sam's Club, Meijer, eBay, Temu, Best Buy, Newegg, Micro Center, Target, and various fast-food/quick-service chains.
- Smart Home & IoT: Geeni/Tuya, DDLock, Govee, GE Cync, Blink, Amazon Alexa, and Bambu Lab.
- Gaming & OTT: Steam, Battle.net, Epic Games, GOG, Roblox, Twitch, Netflix, Roku, Plex, Tubi, and major streaming services (Disney+, Paramount+, etc.).
- AI & Productivity: OpenAI (ChatGPT), Google (Gemini), Anthropic (Claude), DeepSeek, Perplexity, and Microsoft Copilot.
- Hardware & Automotive: Apple, OnePlus/OPPO, Motorola, Nothing, TCL, Tesla, Ford, GM, Honda, and Toyota.
- Infrastructure & Analytics: General telemetry from mobile carriers (T-Mobile), weather services, crash reporting (Sentry/Bugsnag), and common attribution/ad-mediation networks (AppsFlyer, Adjust, Kochava, etc.).
Compatible with all listed platforms. These rules utilize naked wildcard domains (no paths, no mid-line asterisks) to ensure maximum compatibility across DNS-level cloud firewalls.
Compatible exclusively with uBlock Origin and AdGuard browser extensions. These rules contain exact paths and inline wildcards required for granular blocking that network-level DNS software cannot interpret.
- HTTPS Filtering: For services that utilize DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) to bypass filters—such as TikTok—you must enable HTTPS filtering within your AdGuard settings to ensure effectiveness.
- Critical Infrastructure: Exercise caution with OEM-specific rules. For example, blocking OnePlus or OPPO root domains will break OTA system updates.
- Dependencies: Some platforms, such as Roblox, use telemetry domains for required game asset loading; ensure your specific use case allows for these before applying aggressive filters.
To use this list in AdGuard Home, NextDNS, Control D, or RethinkDNS, add the following URL as a DNS blocklist:
The following projects represent the gold standard for curated blocklists. I recommend these if you are looking to expand your coverage beyond this repository:
- HaGeZi DNS Blocklists: Exceptional, multi-tiered protection ranging from light to aggressive. Highly recommended for all-around privacy.
- StevenBlack Hosts: A long-standing, reliable foundation for ad and tracker blocking.
- yokoffing/filterlists: A fantastic collection of specialized filters for fine-tuning your privacy experience.
More is not always better. Stacking too many massive, unvetted lists increases DNS latency and raises the risk of false positives that can break legitimate app functionality or hardware services. Always test your connection after adding new filters.
