@waltercool I need to add some of the subdoains to my /etc/hosts file
Just reinstalled my system so slowly getting backup.
But yes just block them
@waltercool so i need to use [*].google.com is that in my hosts file
before i had something like
www.facebook.com 0.0.0.0
I need to double check so I can put the settings back
@zleap That's not a /etc/hosts file config... if you do that, you won't be able to open any youtube video. If that's what you want it's fine.
My block is made at Brave Browser level.

I will have a look, i know before i was blocking facebook completely (as in it failed to even load / connect) which is what I want, more interested in stopping either facebook or google tracking me as much as that is possible.
@waltercool @zleap i dont think etc hosts supports wildcard sadly, this would be ideal. you need some cursed DNS proxy for that
Doing that, you are kinda a new user to them each time.
