Very Important News (as of September 30, 2021)

⚠⚠⚠⚠⚠ℹℹℹℹℹ

I've made the decision to sunset this repository at the end of September 2021.

Thanks to all who have used this repo 👍

Those who use AdGuard Home may wish to check out: https://github.com/hl2guide/AdGuard-Home-Whitelist

I've personally moved my set up to a "block all then manually whitelist" solution. It locally uses AdGuard Home far more efficiently and directly.

What I've done:

  • ✅ modified the script to be more friendly and easier to run
  • ✅ open sourced the generator (PowerShell and Python based) for the public
  • ✅ commited up until September 30, 2021 and then stopped
  • ✅ archived it and will no longer commit to it (no more updates)

My assessment of this repo is that it:

  • is too large
  • has a wide hit-and-miss ratio
  • makes AdGuard Home use too much RAM
  • makes manually adding whitelisted sites slow or not apply
  • takes too long to generate
  • is not the right approach

and that it simply doesn't meet modern requirements.
