By the way, Chromium (any browser based on it as well) allows to map domains to 127.0.0.1, for example, like:
--host-rules="MAP * 127.0.0.1, EXCLUDE forums.spybot.info","MAP *.spybot.info 127.0.0.1","etc"
There is a limit for the amount of input, using command line, due to Windows limitation.
I'm wondering if Spybot could play with such feature, and divide into more than one batch file, so that, for example, one could actually block access to a lot domains, rather than having a HOSTS file?
I'm not sure if it is doable, but I'm wondering. And hurts nothing to share doubts. Ideas come out of doubts.
