Browsers and Custom Blocklists #956
Description
Where do I go to add a custom blocklist?
Support for that is mentioned in the README but there is no guide for it. I went exploring in the settings and found something called hosts but that does not seem to be it because no matter which blocklist I tried, there was no indication anything was enabled and ads and other annoyances the blocklists were designed to block continued to show in the browser.

Where specifically though? I checked
Adavanced optionsand there is nothing labeledfilterorblocklist. There is aSecure DNSbut no related option to put in a blocklist url, then there are 4 things labeledhostwhich is rather Windows language. One of thehoststhings does have a place to input an url but it does nothing, ads and other annoyances continue to show in browsers on the device.kasnder commentedon Sep 18, 2026
Is this the Play Store or the F-Droid/GitHub version? The Play Store version does not have this feature.

@kasnder Github. Even after restarting the device, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, I cannot find a single option under
Advanced options (for experts)labeledfilterorblocklistand thehostscontinue to have no effect.
