@ -29,6 +29,7 @@ Note that:
* applications, like web browsers, may cache data, so you may need to clear caches
* applications, browsers mostly, that have a *"data saver"*-like feature that proxies requests through their servers (eg. Opera w/ Turbo, Opera Max, Puffin, Chrome w/ data saver, UC Browser, Yandex w/ Turbo, Apus Browser, KK Browser, Onavo Extend, Maxthon) will not have ads blocked as NetGuard cannot see those domain requests
* applications, browsers mostly, can have a private DNS feature (Chrome: three-dots menu, Settings, Privacy, Use secure DNS, turn off)
* YouTube ads are not domain-based, and thus cannot be blocked with NetGuard
* NetGuard ignores the IP addresses in the hosts file, because it does not route blocked domains to localhost
* When NetGuard imports the hosts file, it automatically discards any duplicates entries, so duplicate entries are not a problem and have no performance impact after the file is imported
