Are the tracking hosts and ad hosts on a different list or are they combined?

I really am not that concerned with blocking tracking hosts, and it's become an annoyance because so many links will not work since they're facilitated through some kind of tracking service. I figure I could remove the disconnect.me tracking list, but what about Peter Lowe's list? That seems to imply that it contains both tracking and ad hosts.

I know I can just add certain hosts to the whitelist, but editing a whitelist and adding a host every time I can't follow a link seems like it will get annoyingly cumbersome. I'd prefer to just not block tracking hosts.

Peter Lowe's list has an additional parameter notrackers: https://pgl.yoyo.org/as/serverlist.php?hostformat=nohtml&showintro=0&notrackers=1 You can edit the config and modify the url there.

But StevenBlack/hosts also includes Peter Lowe's list with trackers, so you probably need to remove this list if you want to get rid of tracker hostnames.
