 Filter lists prepared for use with AdGuard Home.
 
 All the lists are generated automatically with the script and use other sources supported by their autors and contributors.
-If you found any error in the list (like disabled valid URL, banned legitimate service, etc.) please create issue in the Steven's repo (https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts). Due to the automatic nature of the AdGuard Home lists generation, I do not correct these lists manually. All changes appled to the source hosts files by their authors to be reflected in AdGuard Home filter lists.
