How block specific web site ads in Malwarebytes

[Vortex_800]

HI dear managers,

In my area there are many ads like this :

https://ck.Mosquito.com/a/click/blobloblo 

How can i block all ads that using such that url in MalwareBytes?

When i right click on an specific ad i can block it like below : 

To add items to the Block list:

1. On a web page, hover your cursor over the visible ad and right-click to display the context menu.
2. In the context menu, highlight Malwarebytes Browser Guard, then click Block this item.
3. Open the Malwarebytes Browser Guard extension.
4. Click more options , then click Blocked items.
5. The website urls for the item you selected to block display. Choose one of the following options for each url:
   • Block: Adds the url to your Block list. You will no longer see this item display while browsing.
   • Delete: This deletes the url from your Block list.

But this is not useful at all.

Because when i reload page that ad is still there.

Also other ads with different query strings are there.

How can i block all of ads that start with : https://ck.Mosquito.com/a/click

How to edit & save the Windows Hosts file

These entries will block the above site...

0.0.0.0  Mosquito.com
0.0.0.0  ck.Mosquito.com

Please note that if you block any site, the content may be cached in the Browser.  Instead of going to that site and downloading the content, the Browser will go into its cache and retrieve the contents there instead of actually revisiting the site.   Closing the Browser, waiting a stint and then restarting the Browser may cause that content to cache-out (be removed).

Now when you visit the blocked site, the Browser will respond with a "site not found" type error.

I also suggest installing Ublock origin alongside Browser guard as well.

Honestly Hosts file blocks are not working for me for unknown reason.

Maybe my Eset internet Security is handling it's job.

I did block that url in eset.

But only works when open that ad url individually.

Finally " Ublock origin" blocked those ads totally.

This Add-On is perfect.

Thanks for the share.
