I am glad to hear that the filters are working well for you!
I would, however, suggest that the use of proper filters such as EasyList and EasyPrivacy would be more suitable for AdGuard Pro as it can interpret / support a much wider variety of filter options. The filters that have been created for this repo have been 'dumbed down' to try to apply basic blocking where the advanced traffic analysis is not available.
I do not plan to add any additional host sources at present, but will consider the possibility of separating them out if necessary in the future. If the AdGuard Home code is tweaked so that more 'options' are processed as wildcard blocks, there will be no reason for this repo to exist. It's really a temporary measure until there's a solution in-place :-)

Thanks for your answer!
Regarding EasyList and EasyPrivacy: I know that. The thing is that AdGuard Pro for iOS consists of 2 parts:
- There is a blocker for Safari using EasyList etc. Unfortunately, the maximum number of filter rules for a filter engine allowed in Safari is 50,000. That's why the newer AdGuard for iOS (which is a pure Safari blocker) applies 5 filter engines thus increasing the max. number of filter rules to nearly 250,000. Consequently, I disabled all Safari filterlists in AdGuard Pro and use AdGuard instead.
- The second part of AdGuard Pro is the "Privacy Settings" which creates a local VPN on the device which alllows to filter the network requests of all other installed apps. Here support of sophisticated options of the ABP filter syntax is irrelevant - rather, it's all about blocking access to those tracking/advertising domains thus preventing being tracked by those apps. I'm only using that second part of AdGuard Pro, and for this purpose your filterlist is much more efficient than any hosts file.
That's why I sincerely hope that your "temporary measure" will exist for a long time ;-)
