GitHub raw is fine for most users. If you are far from US edges or need lower latency, jsDelivr automatically mirrors this repo:
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/StbanMc/CommunityBlocklists@main/exports/domains/<category>.txt
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/StbanMc/CommunityBlocklists@main/exports/hosts/<category>.txt
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/StbanMc/CommunityBlocklists@main/exports/adguard/<category>.txt
To pin to a specific release tag instead of @main (recommended for production firewalls), replace @main with the tag, e.g. @v2026.05.10.
The full list of categories with sizes, formats and source attribution lives at manifest.json — useful for tools, dashboards or wrappers that want to discover what is available without scraping the README.
