You could install the free StevenBlack hosts file on your computer. It plays tricks with your computer's DNS resolution, and makes it resolve ~100000 hosts like my.spamsite.com to localhost.

The owner of this repo coordinates a team of enthusiasts who try to keep up-to-date with the global spam-, advertising-, tracking-, gamble- and porn industry.

The team of volunteers classifies bad hosts and the collected works are in that hosts file.

Tagline of the repo:

Consolidating and extending hosts files from several well-curated sources. Optionally pick extensions for porn, social media, and other categories.

For details, read the extensive README documentation.

You need to put the file into C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\ . As far as I remember.

A tool to manage the hosts file would then be guumaster/hostctl -

Your dev tool to manage /etc/hosts like a pro!
