@KOX599 Updated, with the exceptions of cloudservices.roku.com (does blocking that affect any other Roku services?) and samsung.net/ads (can't block paths, only domains/subdomains)!

how to gist to raw ?

Add /raw to the end of this url.
It becomes: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/hkamran80/779019103fcd306979411d44c8d38459/raw

aviary.amazon.de should absolutely be blocked, but also aviary.amazon.com

With my Fire TV, I also have strange requests to

o2r2hew432.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
andr-25-aftkmst12-641002610.api.amazonvideo.com
prod.amazoncrl.com
arcus-uswest.amazon.com

that I believe can be blocked.
