Convert Adblock list format to domains list (pihole v4.3.2+ compatible)

Pihole Adlist/Blocklist Converter

A simple script for converting Adblock formatted lists into a domains-only block list compatible with pihole v4.3.2+, which no longer supports Adblock list styles: https://pi-hole.net/2019/09/21/pi-hole-4-3-2-release-notes/#page-content.

The script will parse all lines in the Adblock list format and extract all complete domains/hostnames (non-regex/wildcarded) into a plain-text list under /filters directory. Feel free to fork this repositry to manage your own collection of blocklists for pihole gravity.

How to Use

Like pihole gravity, the script will only accept text/plain content type data.

To run:

python3 adlist_converter.py <url>

For example:

python3 adlist_converter.py "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/master/filters/badware.txt"

Notes:

• Some Adblock lists will include benign domains such as youtube[.]com, which the script will not ignore. Be cautious when adding full domains lists to pihole gravity. Scan the parsed blocklist for common domains before uploading.
