Summary

Adds SaneHosts to the Third-Party Hosts Managers section in the README.

SaneHosts is a native macOS hosts file manager that:

  • 5 protection levels (Essentials → Kitchen Sink) for instant setup
  • 200+ curated blocklists across 10 categories — ads, trackers, malware, privacy, social media, gambling, and more
  • Custom profiles — build your own rules, import remote lists, combine and merge profiles
  • One-click activation with automatic DNS cache flush
  • Open source

The existing section lists a Windows tool and a Java tool — this adds the first macOS-native hosts manager to the list.

SaneHosts uses several of StevenBlack's unified hosts lists as blocklist sources in its catalog, so there's a natural connection to this project.

Thank you for this @stephanjoseph.

This repository serves 31 different variants of hosts files, with each variant having its own readme.

All 31 readme, including the one you modified, are generated from the file named readme_template.md.

So the markdown text you added needs to go into readme_template.md.

When you do that, can you please squash your commits so it's just one commit. Thanks.
