P.S
I'd use emacs or pico to do the editing. not any other text editor, eg: (in terminal)
sudo pico /etc/host
If you have your own server you could also craft a special 404 error page that was a bit nicer than 0.0.0.0, or a redirect from the 404 using URL Rewriting to say Google.
Also you'll need to do a restart ;]
This also is a great way of speeding up surfing, to say sites you visit regularly as no DNS server needs to be queried.
OK I'll shut up now :D

I've been trying to figure out how to do this. I had modified my hosts file to block ads but I couldn't figure out what to do next so that my computer would use it. Thanks!

Shouldn't have to do anything else. Visit a site you blocked and see if it's working.

Yea 404 Was much better than a shitty page that has popups [ Im on mozilla I still got a popup there
