Filters for blocking pop-ups and anti-adblock bypass and also BSNL injecting ads into your sessions (which should be illegal but sigh).

This list will block a lot of unnecessary hosts, domains which serve advertisements and usually rely on exploiting consumers to make profits for themselves. Your data is yours, your privacy is yours.
Make sure you have an adblocker installed before you use these. Preferred choice is uBlock Origin.

Method 1. Easier subscription method
In a couple of clicks you can install the filter using this link - subscribe.
After clicking on the link that is located above, a new window will open asking you to confirm the installation. In this window there will be an inscription, in boring bold text, the name of the subscription will be written there, in your case - India Block, and below is a direct link to this filter, to the right of these inscriptions there will be a gray "SUBSCRIBE" button, click it. After clicking the "SUBSCRIBE" button, the India Block filter list will be installed.
You can check whether the list is installed correctly by opening the "uBlock Origin — Dashboard" by clicking on the extension next to your browser window and clicking the small cog icon and going to the "Filter lists" tab. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and make sure the IndiaBlock list is enabled in your user section.
The blocker should be up and running.

The direct link to the filter looks like this

If the installation link to the filter doesn't work, the filter can be installed manually using step-by-step installation instructions. Open the "uBlock Origin — Dashboard" by clicking on the extension next to your browser window and clicking the small cog icon and go to "Filter lists" tab, scroll to the bottom of the screen and at the very bottom select the "Import..." checkbox and paste the direct link to the filter, which is located above, in the expanded input field. Click on the "Apply Changes" button in the top left corner of the screen. As soon as the sheet is loaded you will see it in the "Custom" filters field.
The blocker should be up and running.
