Adblock: unwanted domains blocked

I use the extended block-list provided here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/alternates/fakenews-gambling-porn/hosts

Loading this list, freshtomato puts en.wikipedia.org and github.com among the list of blocked domains. This is undesired. While it is true that these domains appear in the listing, they appear after a comment indicated by a hash (#) sign.

It looks like freshtomato does not stop parsing a line as soon as a hash is reached.

A bit more detailed information:

for me the lines # 177504

0.0.0.0 <URL> # en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_shock_sites

and # 1818

0.0.0.0 <URL> # https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/issues/1635

of the block file produce this unwanted issue.
