This is really what I want. Just avoiding the traffic, the time and the optical disturbance caused by all those sites.

I would even prefer a method as simple as hosts but linked even to my user account.

http://adblockplus.org/en/ works fine on Firefox. Easier to use and more effective than 127.0.0.1 entries in /etc/hosts.

I do not even use Firefox.

hosts has the clear limit that stuff coming from the same site as the text I want to read is still shown.

In general, it works fine.

But new sites have new stuff I would like to be filtered out. To make these experiences as rare as possible, I collect from friends and the Internet hosts files to filter as much as possible.

This resulted in a pretty large file meanwhile.

But the Internet looks much more usable for me now.
