Here you will find a list of useful blocklists for the Pi-hole, which can also be installed. Under the descriptions you will find the URLs that must be included under Blocklist. There is a good selection so that everyone can find what they need.
Advertising
The advertising lists block all advertising on most websites.

TBlocklist
My blocklist blocks some more exotic advertising domains. These providers annoy me with Windows Needs Updates popups and other dubious things.
https://www.technoy.de/lists/blocklist.txt
FireTV
The FireTV Blocklist blocks advertising on the Amazon Fire TV Stick.
https://cybertalk.io/lists/FireTVAds.txt
Tracking & Telemetry Lists
https://v.firebog.net/hosts/Easyprivacy.txt https://v.firebog.net/hosts/Prigent-Ads.txt https://gitlab.com/quidsup/notrack-blocklists/raw/master/notrack-blocklist.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FadeMind/hosts.extras/master/add.2o7Net/hosts https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crazy-max/WindowsSpyBlocker/master/data/hosts/spy.txt https://hostfiles.frogeye.fr/firstparty-trackers-hosts.txt https://hostfiles.frogeye.fr/multiparty-trackers-hosts.txt https://www.github.developerdan.com/hosts/lists/ads-and-tracking-extended.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist/master/android-tracking.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist/master/SmartTV.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist/master/AmazonFireTV.txt
Win10Telemetry
The Win10Telemetry list blocks the domains to which Windows 10 sends its data. It ensures that Microsoft receives less data about you. And without any noticeable restrictions. The list is provided by the YouTube channel SemperVideo.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RPiList/specials/master/Blocklisten/Win10Telemetry
MS Office Telemetry
This list blocks the telemetry domains of Microsoft Office.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RPiList/specials/master/Blocklisten/MS-Office-Telemetry
Session Replay
Session replay is the ability to replay a visitor’s journey on a website or in a mobile application or web application. The replay can include the user’s view, user input and logs of network events or console logs. Data such as credit card numbers can also be collected. The Session Replay Blocklist blocks the most popular session replay providers. This helps to minimize the dissemination of your own data.
https://www.technoy.de/lists/Session-Replay.txt
Samsung Telemetry
The Samsung blocklist blocks domains that are used to retrieve statistics, for example. It is therefore comparable to the Win10 telemetry list.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RPiList/specials/master/Blocklisten/samsung
Suspicious pages
Websites that pretend to be another website, for example, or where viruses have been detected are classified as suspicious sites.
https://www.technoy.de/lists/Suspicious.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PolishFiltersTeam/KADhosts/master/KADhosts_without_controversies.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FadeMind/hosts.extras/master/add.Spam/hosts https://v.firebog.net/hosts/static/w3kbl.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/matomo-org/referrer-spam-blacklist/master/spammers.txt https://someonewhocares.org/hosts/zero/hosts https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vokins/yhosts/master/hosts https://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RooneyMcNibNug/pihole-stuff/master/SNAFU.txt https://v.firebog.net/hosts/BillStearns.txt https://hostsfile.org/Downloads/hosts.txt https://www.joewein.net/dl/bl/dom-bl-base.txt https://v.firebog.net/hosts/Kowabit.txt https://adblock.mahakala.is https://www.stopforumspam.com/downloads/toxic_domains_whole.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CamelCase11/UnifiedHosts/master/hosts.all https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mitchellkrogza/Badd-Boyz-Hosts/master/hosts https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mitchellkrogza/The-Big-List-of-Hacked-Malware-Web-Sites/master/hacked-domains.list
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/blocklistproject/Lists/master/scam.txt
NotSerious
The “NotSerious” list is also maintained by SemperVideo and contains webshops where customers are being ripped off. It is updated regularly.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RPiList/specials/master/Blocklisten/notserious
Fake streaming and debt collection
This blocklist blocks streaming services that supposedly make films available after you have registered. A few days later, a payment demand follows with reference to debt collection companies. However, this is not legally tenable. More about this here.
https://www.technoy.de/lists/fake-streaming.txt
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RPiList/specials/master/Blocklisten/Streaming
Malware
The malware list is also maintained by SemperVideo. It contains URLs that spread malware, i.e. malicious software.
https://www.technoy.de/lists/malware2.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RPiList/specials/master/Blocklisten/malware https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hectorm/hmirror/master/data/disconnect.me-malvertising/list.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hectorm/hmirror/master/data/disconnect.me-malware/list.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hectorm/hmirror/master/data/malwaredomainlist.com/list.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hectorm/hmirror/master/data/malwaredomains.com-immortaldomains/list.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hectorm/hmirror/master/data/malwaredomains.com-justdomains/list.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hectorm/hmirror/master/data/ransomwaretracker.abuse.ch/list.txt https://gitlab.com/quidsup/notrack-blocklists/raw/master/notrack-malware.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hectorm/hmirror/master/data/malwaredomains.com-immortaldomains/list.txt

Protection of minors
The youth protection list blocks hate or gambling sites, for example.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RPiList/specials/master/Blocklisten/child-protection
Porn block
As the name suggests, the Pornblock lists block websites with pornographic content. For optimal protection you should add all lists.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RPiList/specials/master/Blocklisten/pornblock1 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RPiList/specials/master/Blocklisten/pornblock2 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RPiList/specials/master/Blocklisten/pornblock3 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RPiList/specials/master/Blocklisten/pornblock4 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chadmayfield/my-pihole-blocklists/master/lists/pi_blocklist_porn_all.list
