HostsMan also supports an exclusion list so you don't have to remove blocked
entries each time your hosts file is updated.

Are your referring to 'overwrite' vs 'merge with current Hosts'?

I am never comfortable with the concept of merge. What gets removed and
what stays - the existing blocked item or the 'new' version.

It has nothing to do with either of those features. On the menu bar,
select Hosts->Exclusion List to prevent specified domain names from
being added to the HOSTS file upon import.
