Block ads using /etc/hosts in debian

We can avoid ads from loading by serving 0.0.0.0 or 127.0.0.1 for the ads domain.
There is a few website that provide such list and one of them is from mvps.org.

The installation is rather simple. Just copy and paste the list to /etc/hosts file.

#wget http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt
#cp /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.old
#cat hosts.txt >> /etc/hosts

The host file come from window enviroment. So there will be some extra line ugly line
ending that look like ^M in vim. To fix it

#vim /etc/hosts

Then on the vim command mode run

:%s/<CTRL-V><CTRL-M>//g
