 AutoName: AdAway
-Description: |-
-    An ad blocker that uses the hosts file. The hosts file contains a list of
-    mappings between hostnames and IP addresses. When an app requests an ad, that
-    request is directed to 127.0.0.1 which does nothing. There are options to run a
-    web server to respond to blocked hostnames and to direct requests to the IP
-    address of your choosing. You can download hosts files from the app but it is
-    possible to use your own and to add certain sites to the white- and black-lists.
-
-    Requires root as the hosts files is located in /system which is normally
-    read-only.
