I've used https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts for years now, and any close- and extended-family laptop or computer I touch gets it either silently or with some explanation if they ask me what I'm doing. Noone has ever complained. My only gripe is that I haven't written a cron-type update script for my extended family members who use Windows.
Which means I only update it for them periodically. It's still better than not doing it.
It aggregates someonewhocares.org and many other sources into a combined hosts file, to the point where it actually slows down DNS lookups noticably on most computers.
I even use it on my phones, and all other devices where I can access the filesystem.
Almost all devices in the world support a hosts file, becase most of the network stacks in use today spring from the same code.

EDIT: It has 40-55 thousand host entries, depending on which version you use. In my scripts I just curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/h...
