[account ↗] [repo ↗] APPLICATION ★ 1014 23 ● maintained (last update 1 month ago)
reviewed by: deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash

This repository provides an Android ad-blocking Magisk module (named '去广告' / 'Remove Advertise') that blocks ads at the system level using hosts file redirection, iptables firewall rules, file locking (chattr), and app component disabling (pm). It includes a comprehensive, community-curated blocklist in both hosts file format (all, reward) and Adblock Plus format (adb.txt), targeting Chinese mobile apps and ad networks. The repo also hosts a GitHub Pages website (index.html) for distribution, donation, and version history (over 200 releases). While primarily an application (Magisk module), it has a strong data component in the form of curated blocklists, making it a hybrid project. The module is distributed as flashable ZIP archives in the module/ directory, with an update.json for Magisk's auto-update mechanism. The codebase is functional and well-used (1014 stars) but shows signs of maintenance burden (large version list, incomplete English documentation, history-cleanup workflow that destroys git history).

The LLM identified 3 files worth highlighting for reuse:

An Adblock Plus 2.0 format filter list with 17,201 rules targeting ads in Chinese mobile apps and web services. It includes domain blocking, path-level blocking, whitelist exceptions, and JSON rewrite rules to strip ad cards from feeds (e.g., Coolapk, Bilibili). The list is well-organized with comments explaining intent and app-specific scoping ($app=). This is a reusable data asset that can be imported into any ad-blocking client (uBlock Origin, AdGuard) and demonstrates significant curation skill.

A massive hosts file mapping hundreds of thousands of ad, tracker, and malicious domains to 0.0.0.0. It is grouped by ad network (e.g., toutiao, MIUI, oppomobile) with comments for customization. The file is used by the Magisk module for system-wide blocking but can be extracted and used in any hosts-based ad blocker (e.g., on desktop or other Android root solutions). It demonstrates systematic coverage of Chinese ad ecosystems.

A standard Magisk module update manifest following the official protocol (version, versionCode, zipUrl, changelog). It enables automatic update detection in Magisk Manager. While simple, it correctly implements the required schema and is a clean example of how to distribute Magisk module updates via GitHub releases.
