OK thanks, I will monitor the situation. Latest info is inconclusive:

$ dpkg -s advert-block-antix
Package: advert-block-antix
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: system
Installed-Size: 192
Maintainer: anticapitalista <anticapitalista@riseup.net>
Architecture: all
Version: 0.3.8
Depends: wget
Description: Script and Desktop launcher for advert block, website add blocker for antiX.
Homepage: https://gitlab.com/antiX-Linux/advert-block-antix

$ zless /usr/share/doc/advert-block-antix/changelog.gz
gzip: /usr/share/doc/advert-block-antix/changelog.gz: No such file or directory

I also went to https://gitlab.com/antiX-Linux/advert-block-antix, but no info there either.

[Update] (from /usr/local/bin/block-advert.sh)
# Improvements to this script:
# — Use StevenBlack’s unified hosts file ( github.com/StevenBlack/hosts )

Looks like I can probably delete the package.

[Update 2] Looks like the entries survive a package remove, and purge, so it is a manual job (easy in vi).
