That’s a shame, I’d like an easy way to block things via the Hosts file, which I’ve never done before but have heard much about.

Hostal makes editing your hosts file is really simple, plus DNS lookups, ad filtering and host blocking make this a fantastic utility. Speed up connections to web sites you visit frequently by adding them to your hosts file. Map local network resources (printer, TiVo, etc) to DNS names so you can refer to them by an easy to remember name instead of the IP address.
