 ## Extensions
-The unified hosts file is extensible.  Extensions are used to block domains by category.  
+The unified hosts file is optionally extensible.  Extensions are used to include domains by category.  Currently we offer the following categories: `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn`.

-Extensions are optional, and are added to the base hosts file.  Extensions are combined in various ways wth the default hosts file, and the combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.
+Extensions are optional, and can be combined in various ways wth the base hosts file.  The combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.

-For example, you may want to block porn domains in addition to the adware and malware we block by default.  That hosts file is stored in the porn subfolder of the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.  
-
-Data for extensions is stored in the [`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions) folder. You manage extensions by curating the
-[`extensions`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions)  folder tree where you will find the data for `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension data that we maintain and provide for you.

 ## Generate your own unified hosts file

-**Note** if you are using Python 3, please install the dependencies with:
+To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+
+First install the dependencies with:

    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt

-**Note** if you are using Python 2, please install the dependencies with:
-
-    pip2 install --user -r requirements_python2.txt

+The unified hosts file is optionally extensible.  Extensions are used to include domains by category.  Currently we offer the following categories: `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn`.

-Extensions are optional, and are added to the base hosts file.  Extensions are combined in various ways wth the default hosts file, and the combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.
+Extensions are optional, and can be combined in various ways wth the base hosts file.  The combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.

-For example, you may want to block porn domains in addition to the adware and malware we block by default.  That hosts file is stored in the porn subfolder of the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.

 ## Generate your own unified hosts file

-**Note** if you are using Python 3, please install the dependencies with:
+To generate your own unified hosts file you will need Python 3.5 or later.
+
+First install the dependencies with:

    pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt

-**Note** if you are using Python 2, please install the dependencies with:
-
-    pip2 install --user -r requirements_python2.txt
-
 **Note** we recommend the `--user` flag which installs the required dependencies at the user level. More information about it can be found on pip [documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/?highlight=--user#cmdoption-user).

-To run unit tests, in the top level directory, just run:
+To run unit tests, in the top level directory, run:

-    python testUpdateHostsFile.py
+    python3 testUpdateHostsFile.py

-* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.

+* [Hostile](https://github.com/feross/hostile) is a nifty command line utility to easily add or remove domains from your hosts file.  If our hosts files are too aggressive for you, you can use `hostile` to remove domains, or you can use `hostile` in a bash script to automate a post process each time you download fresh versions of hosts.

To install both download the github repo and run the [install script](https://github.com/tiiiecherle/osx_install_config/blob/master/09_launchd/9b_run_on_boot/root/1_hosts_file/install_hosts_file_generator_and_launchdservice.sh) from the directory one level up.

+The unified hosts file is optionally extensible.  Extensions are used to include domains by category.  Currently we offer the following categories: `fakenews`, `social`, `gambling`, and `porn`.

-Extensions are optional, and are added to the base hosts file.  Extensions are combined in various ways wth the default hosts file, and the combined products are stored in the [`alternates`](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) folder.

It's sophisticated enough to allow any novice the ability to install and uninstall the blacklist of their choosing to their local hosts file and keep it automatically up to date, while also being minimal enough to be able to be easily placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies. And since it is in active development by community members, your bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback are most welcome.
+* [Unified Hosts AutoUpdate](https://github.com/ScriptTiger/Unified-Hosts-AutoUpdate "Unified Hosts AutoUpdate") (for Windows): The Unified Hosts AutUpdate package is purpose-built for this unified hosts project as well as in active development by community members. You can install and uninstall any blacklist  and keep it automatically up to date, and can be placed in a shared network location and deployed across an organization via group policies.

 ## Interesting Applications

+* [Hostile](https://github.com/feross/hostile) is a nifty command line utility to easily add or remove domains from your hosts file.  If our hosts files are too aggressive for you, you can use `hostile` to remove domains, or you can use `hostile` in a bash script to automate a post process each time you download fresh versions of hosts.

+* [macOS Scripting for Configuration, Backup and Restore](https://github.com/tiiiecherle/osx_install_config) helps customizing, re-installing and using macOS.

In combination with a [launchd](https://github.com/tiiiecherle/osx_install_config/blob/master/09_launchd/9b_run_on_boot/root/1_hosts_file/launchd_and_script/com.hostsfile.install_update.plist) it updates the hosts file every x days (default is 4). To install both download the github repo and run the [install script](https://github.com/tiiiecherle/osx_install_config/blob/master/09_launchd/9b_run_on_boot/root/1_hosts_file/install_hosts_file_generator_and_launchdservice.sh) from the directory one level up.

+# Codebase Structure
+
+These are the folders and some key files used to generate and store various unified hosts files.
+
+## Data folders
+
+There are two facets of the hosts files generated by
+[/updateHostsFile.py](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/updateHostsFile.py):
+
+### Basic hosts
+Basic hosts are domains that purvey advertising, malware, tracking, coin
+mining and other abominable behavior. These hosts are included in all our products.
+
+The [/data](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/data) folder holds the
+metadata and latest hosts for all our basic hosts sources. The hosts are updated
+automatically by`/updateHostsFile.py` which iterates all the subfolders within `./data`.
+
+### Optional hosts extensions
+Hosts extensions include domains that push potentially addictive content like `porn`, `fake news`,
+`gambling`, and `social` media.
+
+The [/extensions](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/extensions) folder holds
+metadata and latest hosts for all our basic hosts sources. The hosts are updated
+automatically by`/updateHostsFile.py` which iterates all the subfolders within `./extensions`.
+
+## Product folders
+
+### Basic hosts
+The [basic hosts file](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/hosts), containing
+just adware, malware, etc, is stored in the root folder of this repository.
+
+The [/hosts/alternates](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/tree/master/alternates) this folder
+contains the products of `updateHostsFile.py`, one subfolder for each permutation of
+`fakenews`, `gambling`, `porn`, and `social` media hosts, all of which include the base extensions
+containing hosts that block adware, malware, tracking, etc.
+
+## Other notable files
+
+ [./readme_template.md](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/readme_template.md):
+This file is used to generate the all the various readme files in this repository.  Therefore,
+if you wish to change the readme, you need to change only this file.
