🛡️ Welcome to StevenBlock (The Zero-Bloat Era)

Hey there, digital explorer! 👋 Welcome to the completely rebuilt era of StevenBlock. We looked at heavy adblockers and decided to throw the bloat in the trash.

Say goodbye to resource-hogging WebUIs and battery-draining background services. You are now wielding the ultimate, pure-terminal systemless shield! 🛡️⚡

🚀 What's New in This Architecture?

We rebuilt everything from the ground up for maximum efficiency:

  • 💻 Death of the WebUI, Birth of CLI: We removed the heavy web interface! Everything is now managed through a brutally fast, interactive Terminal via your root manager's Action menu.
  • 🎛️ Volume Key Navigation: No typing required! You can now use your physical Volume UP / DOWN keys to navigate menus and select your blocklists during installation and inside the Action menu.
  • 📅 Live Repository Intelligence: Before you choose a blocklist, the script now dynamically fetches the exact "Last Updated" date directly from GitHub. You always know how fresh your armor is!
  • 🧹 Aggressive Auto-Cleanup: The script now automatically sanitizes downloaded lists, strips dead domains, and flawlessly flushes your Android DNS cache (ndc resolver).
  • 🔋 Absolute Zero Battery Drain: Zero background processes. Zero active RAM usage. Just a perfectly optimized /system/etc/hosts file.

🎯 How to Access Your Control Center

  1. Open your Root Manager (Magisk, KernelSU, or APatch).
  2. Go to the Modules tab.
  3. Find StevenBlock and tap the Action (or Settings ⚙️) button.
  4. A terminal will open! Use your Volume Keys to Reconfigure, Force Update, or Check your Status.

💡 Pro Tips for Maximum Power

⚡ Tip 1: The Magic of Rebooting StevenBlock applies its magic deep within the system. If you change a list or force an update via the Action menu, always REBOOT your device to apply the changes perfectly!

🌐 Tip 2: Chrome/Brave Users (KSU & APatch) Are you using KernelSU or APatch and still seeing ads in Google Chrome or Brave? Browsers try to bypass system hosts. The Fix: Go to your Root Manager -> Superuser Tab -> Select your Browser -> Custom Profile -> UNCHECK "umount modules". Problem solved!

🛑 Tip 3: Do Not Mix Adblockers! Please disable "Systemless Hosts" in your root manager and uninstall apps like AdAway. Running multiple hosts-blockers will create chaos. Let StevenBlock do all the heavy lifting!

📜 A Quick Note on YouTube Ads...

"Why am I still seeing ads in the official YouTube app?"

The Truth: StevenBlock kills connections at the DNS level. YouTube serves its videos and its ads from the exact same servers. If we block the ad server, we break the video entirely!

For an ad-free YouTube experience, we highly recommend using dedicated, modified YouTube clients (like ReVanced) alongside StevenBlock. They are the perfect combo! 🤝

Stay safe, stay fast, and enjoy your ad-free experience! - Developed with ❤️ by mikropsoft.
