Everything you need to know about StevenBlock
StevenBlock is a system-level ad-blocking module that works by modifying the hosts file to redirect ad requests to a dead end (0.0.0.0). It merges multiple trusted sources into one powerful hosts file for comprehensive protection.
No! StevenBlock is battery-friendly and doesn't run as a background app. It's a system-level module that does its job silently without draining your battery or slowing down your device.
Yes, StevenBlock requires a rooted Android device with either Magisk, KernelSU, or APatch installed. These root solutions are necessary to modify system-level files.
StevenBlock focuses on blocking ads, trackers, and malware domains. Depending on your chosen blocklist, it can block between 100,000 to 500,000+ troublesome domains. It does not block pornography or gambling sites by default.
You can use a hosts manager app from Google Play or F-Droid to view and customize the blocked domains list. You can also join our Telegram community for support and whitelist recommendations.
Uninstalling is simple: just disable or remove the module from your root manager (Magisk Manager, KernelSU, or APatch) and reboot your device. All changes are automatically reverted, and no system files are permanently modified.
Yes! StevenBlock works seamlessly with VPN applications. It operates at the system level and doesn't interfere with VPN connections, DNS over HTTPS, or other privacy tools. You can use StevenBlock alongside your favorite VPN for maximum privacy protection.
StevenBlock operates at the system level, blocking ads across all apps and browsers without requiring individual app modifications. Unlike app-based blockers, it doesn't slow down your device or require constant updates. It's also completely free, open-source, and doesn't collect any user data or require internet permissions.
We update StevenBlock 1-2 times per week with fresh blocklists. Most root solutions will notify you of updates, and you can always check our GitHub repository for the latest releases.
StevenBlock offers 4 different blocklist options: StevenBlack (Main) - the classic balanced blocklist; 1Hosts Lite (Light) - minimal blocking with high compatibility; 1Hosts Pro (Balanced) - comprehensive everyday protection; and 1Hosts Xtra (Aggressive) - maximum blocking that may require manual whitelisting.
No, StevenBlock is designed to keep your social and professional connections intact. It plays nice with WhatsApp, Telegram, LinkedIn, and other communication apps, ensuring you stay connected while blocking unwanted ads.
No, it's not recommended to use StevenBlock alongside AdAway or other systemless hosts modules as they can conflict with each other. StevenBlock handles everything you need, so you don't need additional ad-blocking modules.
Yes, StevenBlock works system-wide across all browsers and apps. However, some ads served directly by browsers (like on YouTube's website) might still appear since they're not domain-based ads that can be blocked through the hosts file.
The hosts file is located at /system/etc/hosts and acts as your device's bouncer list. It tells your device which connections to block before they even start, redirecting blocked domains to 0.0.0.0 (a dead end).
Installation is simple: 1) Open your root manager (Magisk, KernelSU, or APatch), 2) Go to Modules section and tap 'Install from storage', 3) Select the StevenBlock zip file, 4) Choose your preferred blocklist using Volume Up/Down keys, 5) Reboot your device to activate protection.
Yes, StevenBlock is completely safe. It's open-source, doesn't collect any user data, and doesn't require internet permissions. It only modifies the hosts file in a systemless way, meaning no permanent changes are made to your device.
StevenBlock is licensed under GPL-2.0, which means it's free and open-source software. You can freely use, modify, and distribute it. The source code is available on GitHub for transparency and community contributions.

No, StevenBlock specifically requires root access to modify system-level files. For non-rooted devices, you'll need to use alternative ad-blocking solutions like browser extensions or DNS-based blockers.
Depending on your chosen blocklist, StevenBlock can block between 100,000 to 500,000+ malicious domains including ads, trackers, and malware. The exact number varies based on whether you choose the Lite, Pro, or Xtra version of the blocklists.
