Is there a service that, say, subscribes to a live list of this domain set (like adblock consumes easylist) and updates my hostfile automatically?
If not, that is a piece of software that I would find useful and worth paying for (with the ability to audit the software's ability to phone home about the rest of my hosts file)
Your host file, hmm. Maybe something based on disconnect.me. If you're mostly worried about the browser (which seems sensible for most users), you can just enable tracking protection in Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tracking-protection
It would be useful to know how to generate this list in the first place, then just adopt that to create the list on our own, instead of coming back to this github repo to sync every so often.
I do not see this in the repository, presumably to get people to come back to his github repo for updates, but that's my cynicism.
