> Except ... I disable it a lot :(

Not sure if you know, but there are advanced options to put various roadblocks in your way, such as disabling access to the options menu, or disabling access to the add-ons menu entirely.

would you share the hosts file by any chance? 68k seems better than what I have

it's probably something like this: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

Not OP but I can recommend those also for blocking social networks: https://github.com/jmdugan/blocklists/tree/master/corporatio...

What's the performance impact of such a large hosts file ?

You gain performance by blocking thousands of sockets opened, data transferred and processed.

Host lookup should be O(1) and entirely in memory, so I see zero issue perf. wise to begin with.
