- Edited the YouTube Advertisement Note text. Due to the way YouTube advertisements works, I don’t think any ways of writing a better regex could be made to be able to block them DNS wise.
- Added the NextDNS inclusion.
- Added another point because it’s actually not only for the pihole anymore.
- Added more Anti-Corp filter lists. Still, haven’t found an Amazon one, hlp plz.
This list was especially created in order to comply with the NextDNS service https://github.com/nextdns/lists/pull/13
Its main point in order to make a much shorter list, is by blacklisting only the main Google domains, without explicitly blacklisting other domains hosted on those.
With wildcard support, This makes all the domains that could be hosted on a certain domain, will be blocked has well.
For example: Blocking `google.com` will block as well the domain `android.clients.google.com` because it is hosted on the main `google.com` domain.
The only domains to not be blocked already outside of the YouTube shorteners, were the xcode.com website, which seems to be actually a Apple website and so, not related to Google in itself. The idea to add an others category will be redone once we actually found other misc Google Domains.
I thought they were all like this:
r6---sn-ab5szn7e.a1.googlevideo.com
Well, I discovered:
redirector.c.googlevideo.com
Just remove this and the last line if you still want youtube to work I guess
cache.googlevideo.com
0.0-78-194.cache.googlevideo.com
* Improved regex precision and domain range (covers googlezip, precisely detects when a site finishes with '.google' and more)
* Performance should be better (tester with regex101)
* Tried to keep them "modular", you should still leave yt open by removing last two lines.
* Improved so much yt advertisements regex
