I am often tempted to push this further to:

  sudo bash -c 'echo ":: google.com" >> /etc/hosts'
  sudo bash -c 'echo "0.0.0.0 google.com" >> /etc/hosts'


What exactly do you believe doing this will accomplish, other than cutting off access from a search engine?


Stops the biggest advertiser from profiling you on every site, obviously.


It doesn't, though. Google use other domains.


Blacklist those too then.


I'd suggest 1e100.net[1] too.
