  • Nothing of interest to Linux users
  • Use LaunchAgents instead of cron (Mac)
  • MDM helper scripts added to repo for mass deployment

Bugfix:

3.0.1

4 years ago

The example whitelist was impeding blockage of improving.duckduckgo.com tracking.

If you previously installed, running this update won't block improving.duckduckgo.com

To block improving.duckduckgo.com:

  • Edit your ~/autohosts/whitelist and remove duckduckgo (and any other example filter you don't care to whitelist).

This release is primarily to fix the minor bug for future installs.

Marketing and "customer engagement" turds added to the filter lists.

If running a prior version, it's not necessary to re-clone the repo, they'll be appended to your list on next run of Autohosts!
