Title: Grabbing Site Link from topic?
Post by: HiDevin on October 07, 2018, 02:25:34 AM
The title isn't really specific but I want to grab all names in gambling and put it into a web filter for I wouldn't access any of those sites anymore.
Any idea?

It's probably much easier and less time consuming (https://xkcd.com/1205/) to just go through the first few pages of the section and manually create a list yourself.

This. Creating a tool or a script for this purpose is just going to waste you a lot of time, unless you're already planning on studying programming; then this might be a decent learning exercise for you. Just go through probably 5 pages of all the links on the gambling section and add them to your list.

There's a hosts file that's maintained with many gambling sites. Install it, and your computer can't access those sites anymore.
I think it's linked in one of LoyceV's first posts merited by Vod. If you can't find it I'll post it when I'm at my computer again.

You can go to the anti-virus settings in the parent-protection settings and add all the sites that you do not like.
Perhaps this will be the simplest solution to your problem. Anivirus developers have their own site base with online games.
You can also block them if you set the required settings. You can also block websites from the category of drugs, pornography and more.

All you need to know is that not all sites have a site link. Google usually automatically displays site links from websites, which are considered eligible,
(for example: a site whose brand name is the website).

Note:
So you need to search Google search first, the Chrome site appears along with the links below, namely Chrome, Chrome for Mobile, Chrome Web Store, etc. This is to make it easier for you and to quickly find what you are looking.

Yeah, please help me find it, I already went through the first 5 pages on the gambling thread, and blocked every site, but I don't want any new sites popping up just in case I stumble on it again.

Here it is:
I have added this line to /etc/hosts
Code:
127.0.0.1       bitcointalk.to
Now my computer can't access that phishing site anymore.
Someone who has time should maintain a list of these phishing sites, and we can encourage all new users to update their hosts file.
Someone already did that: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts (scroll down a bit to see many different categories hosts files). The one mentioned above isn't on it though, so I've added it by myself.
StevenBlack lets you choose gambling, porn, social or a few other options. I only block all advertising. If you do that, many paid links in Google don't work anymore, so I enabled a few again to use some links.

If you don't mind me asking: why would you want to block all gambling site? It is so you're not tempted?

My addiction is about to sneak into my real life and I don't really want that happening, I already lost around ~0.4 btc this past month and that's a whole lot for someone living in a 3rd world country :/

edit: Thank you for the list though. :)
