Re: 'Surveillance Capitalism'
Colak would it possible to change that post with YT videos to just links to the vids instead of embedding the whole sh*t ? Thank you.

Did you clear the DNS caches / or / restart your Mac ?
I did flush the caches, which usually works when I edit the hosts file. This seems to be the suggested command for newer macOS:
dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
But I did not try restarting the Mac. :{
Maybe I’ll give it another try when the mood strikes.

Re: 'Surveillance Capitalism'
I’ve had the nuclear option in my etc/hosts on linux since the day you posted it, Destry, and I got blank pages trying to connect to anything google or youtube. I changed FF default search engine and also now installed the FF invidio.us plugin, and it all seems to work well now. So worth trying again. Interestingly, I can still go to Google My Business although I can’t see the sites on Google search results, cos I can’t use Google search.
Notice I’m back using Firefox. Fed up of exploring other options which always seem to disappoint.

Looking through the nuclear lines with the ‘find’ function, I don’t see any accounting for business.google.com
or www.business.google.com
. Maybe if you add the lines to the file.
I, on the other hand, still can’t get the nuclear option to work at all. This time with a system reboot. All FB and Goog sites appear as normal. I don’t get it, but it’s definitely typical of my experiences with tech, which is why analog is more appealing by the year.

Re: 'Surveillance Capitalism'
Just installed uMatrix for FF. It’s quite slick. Not a ‘Nuclear’ copy/paste solution, but you can pretty much accomplish the same thing without messing about in a file. I’ll need to spend more time with it. This does limit your blocking to FF, though, but better than nothing.
